[Functional state of the thyroid gland and thyrotropic activity of the hypophysis in patients with dyspituitarism of the puberto-adolescent period].
The authors report the results of study of the thyroid gland function in 72 patients with dyspituitrism of the puberto-juvenile period; the thyrotropic activity of the hypophysis was also studied in 37 of these patients. It was revealed that the TTH level could change both in the direction of decrease and of elevation; the inorganic phase of the iodine metabolism was reduced and the organic one--elevated. Such disproportion between the inorganic and organic phases of iodine metabolism in this disease was attributed to the hormonal disbalance, the excess in the organism of glucocorticoids and estrogens.
