The Thyroid Function and Size in Healthy Man During 3 Weeks Treatment with β-Adrenoceptor-Antagonists

Abstract: The influence of beta-adrenoceptor antagonists on serum TSH level (supersensitive method) and thyroid volume has not previously been studied. Thirty-two young non-smoking males were treated for 3 weeks with either atenolol 50 mg (b.i.d.), metoprolol 100 mg (b.i.d.) or propranolol 80 mg (b.i.d.) in a placebo controlled study. After 1 week, median serum TSH level increased in the atenolol (from 1.76 (range: 0.96-4.04) to 2.25 (range: 1.11-4.22) mU/l, P less than 0.05) and propranolol (from 1.91 (range: 0.90-3.83… Show more

“…Beta-blockers inhibit the conversion of T 4 to the more active form, T3, and increase serum TSH (Kayser et al 1991). Use of these drugs was positively associated with TSH in the regression for women with urinary iodine < 100 μg/L.…”

“…But Kayser et al have demonstrated that after a 1-week therapy of propranolol and atenolol, median serum TSH levels increased, whereas median serum TSH decreased compared with pretreatment values after 3 weeks of therapy. However, the increase of TSH levels under the treatment of metoprolol did not reach statistical significance ( Kayser et al, 1991 ).…”

“…Antihypertensive drugs used widely in clinical practice include β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), and calcium channel blockers (CCB) in our hospital. Evidence has linked propranolol therapy to a thyroid function alteration in patients with hyperthyroidism ( Faber et al, 1979 ; Perret et al, 1984 ; Franklyn et al, 1985 ) and euthyroidism ( Wilkins et al, 1985 ; Kayser et al, 1991 ). In recent years, selective β 1 -adrenergic receptor blockers (second-generation agents) and third-generation agents ( Rizos et al, 2003 ; Bakris et al, 2004 ; Celik et al, 2006 ) are much more prevalent in clinical practice.…”

Sir, Kayser, Perrild, Feldt-Rasmussen, Hegediis, Skovsted and Hansen (1991) have measured thyroxine (Tt) serum levels. Standing for 35 minutes increases venous hematocrit, haemoglobin and plasma protein levels by 10.
