Thyroid hormones and the adrenergic nervous system.
This paper reviews the various possible relationships between thyroid hormones and the adrenergic nervous system. These concern the sympathetic influence on thyroid hormone secretion, thyroid hormone - induced changes of sympathetic activity or adrenoceptor changes - the effects of catecholamines on thyroid hormone metabolism and, finally, the clinical benefits of beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs on symptoms and signs of hyperthyroidism.
