[Insulin resistance in experimental hypo- and hyperthyroidism].
Abstract
The effect of thyroid hormones on the realization of body insulin function was investigated on the models of hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism resulting from thyroidectomy, caused the development of insulin resistance, expressed in a lowered body reaction to i. v. insulin infusion, a decrease in tissue sensitivity and reactivity to insulin. Insulin resistance in hypothyroidism was accountable for by a decrease in the serum total activity of insulin-like growth factors. Insulin resistance in hyperthyroidism was less notable and observed only in 10-day administration of thyroiodine; more prolonged administration of the drug (up to 30 days) restored insulin sensitivity. This effect can be accounted for by enhanced insulin independent glucose consumption caused by thyroid hormones.
