Abstract:We studied the secretion capacity of TSH-beta in 63 patients with various pituitary disorders, carrying out the observation of TSH-beta changes after TRH administration. Serum TSH-beta concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay according to the modified method of Kourides. Serum TSH concentrations were measured by immunoradiometric assay, and serum concentrations of free thyroid hormones were measured by radioimmunoassay. Basal TSH-beta concentrations were below 0.39 ng/ml in 17 patients with Acromegaly,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
