ABSTRACT Thyroglobulin fractions rich and poor in new thyroglobulin were separated by means of DEAE-cellulose chromatography of dog thyroid extracts and by zonal ultracentrifugation in a sucrose gradient of guinea pig thyroid extract incubated at low temperature. The distribution of thyroxine, triiodothyronine and 3,3′,5′-(reverse)-triiodothyronine in hydrolysates of the different fractions was estimated by radioimmunoassays. Following DEAE-cellulose chromatography there was a small but statistically significant increase in the T4/T3 ratio in thyroglobulin fractions eluted at high ionic strength - that is fractions relatively rich in stable iodine but poor in fresh thyroglobulin. There were no differences in the T4/rT3 ratios between the different fractions. The ratios between iodothyronines were almost identical in the various thyroglobulin fractions following zonal ultracentrifugation in a sucrose gradient of cold treated guinea pig thyroid extract. These findings lend no support to the possibility that a relatively high content of triiodothyronines in freshly synthesized thyroglobulin modulates the thyroid secretion towards a preferential secretion of triiodothyronine and 3,3′,5′-(reverse)-triiodothyronine at the expense of the secretion of thyroxine.

Langer P, Gschwendtová K. Acute changes in biliary excretion of reverse triiodothyronine in rats after insulin-induced hypoglycemia: effect of glucose, verapamil, cycloheximide and actinomycin D. Eur J Endocrinol 1995;132:618–21. ISSN 0804–4643 Biliary excretion of reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) was estimated in rats during hypoglycemia induced by a 10-min infusion of 1 U of insulin (INS) and for the following 5 h. During that period an increase in biliary rT3 was found. This was seen also during the infusion of exogenous glucagon (10 μg in 1.2 ml of saline per 1 h for 5 h) given independently of INS. The infusion of glucose (1 g/kg per 50 min or 2 g/kg per 110 min) following INS infusion delayed the increase in rT3. The increase in rT3 was prevented by actinomycin D (1 mg/kg) when injected before (90 min), but not after (30 min) INS, and also by cycloheximide (2.5 mg/kg) injected immediately before INS. The same dose of cycloheximide also prevented a similar increase of rT3 during the infusion of exogenous glucagon. Verapamil (5 mg/ kg divided into five doses per 4 h) blunted the increase of rT3. These data indicate that following INS injection counter-regulatory hormones may be responsible for the increased production of rT3; this altered metabolic activity apparently is dependent on protein synthesis.
