Effect of Acute Hypoxia on Blood TSH Levels

Abstract: The effect of simulated altitude produced by decompression chambers upon the thyroid function was studied in female rats. A significant decrease in blood TSH levels was found when the rats were maintained during 24 hours at a pressure of 0.4 atmosphere, but not at a pressure of 0.7 atmosphere.

“…Persistent effects after normalization of oxygen supply and thereby independent from catecholamine influences or alterations in energy supply were not investigated. Furthermore, one of the main factors regulating REE is the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis [13,14], which has been found to be suppressed by hypoxia [15][16][17][18][19][20]. We hypothesized that REE decrease is preserved after acute hypoxia had ended, indicating a persistent metabolic adaptation independent of acute stress hormonal activation possibly mediated by suppression of the HPT axis.…”

“…Such asphyxiated newborns compared with the normal new-borns for mean level of thyroid hormone in the cord blood at birth and venous blood 18-24 hours after birth. There was no significant difference observed for the level of thyroid hormones between the groups in the cord blood while at 18-24 hours after birth there was significant decrease in all T 3 , T 4 and TSH was observed in asphyxiated newborns. Which suggest low level of T 3 and T 4 are secondary to low TSH concentration.…”

“…Immediately after birth, umbilical cord was clamped at two different sites and blood was collected for analysis and determination of T 3 , T 4 and TSH. After 18 to 24 hours of birth, venous blood sample was collected for levels of thyroid hormones of each new-born in both groups (cases and controls).…”
