Short-term effect of acetylsalicylic acid analogue on pituitary-thyroid axis and plasma cortisol level in healthy human volunteers.

The effect of acetylsalicylic acid analogue (aloxiprinum; Superpyrin Spofa) administered perorally in a daily dose of 1 g per 10 kg body weight on serum levels of free thyroxine (FT4), total thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), cortisol (F) and thyrotrophin (TSH) was studied in healthy human volunteers. In a first experiment the drug was administered for 3 days to 7 subjects, the total daily dose being divided into 4-5 aliquots, while the same total dose was administered within 4 h to another 8 subjects in a second experiment. In both experiments a highly significant increase of FT4 was found during the period of treatment, while the levels of other hormones i.e. (T3, T4, F and TSH) were decreased, in most cases significantly. After the withdrawal of the drug there was not only a return of all levels to the initial value, but in most cases an "overshoot" above this value was detected.

[Comparison between a shortened TRH-TSH test and thyroid suppression test in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidosis].

In a selected group of fifty-one persons suspected to be hyperthyroid the comparison between a shortened variant of TRH-TSH stimulation test and thyroid suppression test was made. In patients whose other functional tests gave no univocal results, the agreement between suppressibility of radioiodine uptake and TSH response in 90,2% of cases could be established. High degree of correlation between both parameters (coefficient V = 0.791) permits to regard these tests as practically equivaluablein giving evidence of dysregulation between pituitary and thyroid gland. In persons with TSH-dependent thyroid function, however, no correlation between numerical values of radioiodine uptake and TSH concentrations after stimulations was found.
