[Behavior of thyroid function following massive intestinal resection. Experimental study].
With the purpose of research the behaviour of the thyroid function after massive intestinal bowel resection, we have designed an experimental model of short bowel syndrome. For this aim two groups of study were employed, each one with seven animals (minipigs). RIA for T4, T3 y TSH were made in four different times: basal (R1), immediately after intestinal resection (R2), two weeks after it, and six months later (R4). The results show that, once short bowel syndrome is established, the animals remain in euthyroid state. But the transitory oscillations of T4 in R3 and T3 in R2 suggested that these could be caused for alterations in the enterohepatic circulation of thyroid hormones in the acute diarrheal state.
