Serum concentrations of myoglobin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and cardiac isoenzymes in euthyroid, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid subjects.
Serum concentrations of myoglobin, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were measured in 33 euthyroid, 21 hyperthyroid and 15 hypothyroid subjects. The results showed that myoglobin, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were increased and decreased in the hypo- and hyperthyroid states, respectively. In addition, the concentrations of myoglobin, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase values were inversely related to both the thyroxine and triiodothyronine concentrations. To study the origin of the increased muscle protein values observed in hypothyroidism, the cardiac isoenzyme fractions were measured; the results obtained support the view that the muscle enzymes are mainly derived from skeletal muscles.
