None. TSH is a signal fo rthe thyroid to make and release more thyroid hormone. If the thyroid is removed TSH wil have no effect.
Hypophysectomized rats do not have the thyroxine with which to regulate metabolic rate properly. Thyroxine replacement can allow for the normalization of the metabolic rate (as it does in humans with hypothyroidism!).
Propylthiouracil is a drug given to patients with goiter to decrease or slow down basal metabolic rate.
The effect of administering thyroxin on each of the rats was the baseline metabolic rate increased in each rat. Thyroxin was the most important hormone in maintaining metabolism and body heat.
it stimulates the thyroid to produce the thyroid hormone which regulates metabolic rate
Normal TSH levels for adults are 0.5-5.0 mU/L.
TSH levels show ranges. For newborns TSH normal levels should be: 3.0-20 mIU/L. For adults up to age 60 TSH normal levels should be: <10 mIU/L For adults older than 60 TSH normal levels should be: Males: 2.0-7.3 mIU/L Females: 2.0-16.8 mIU/L
Yes, a TSH of 1.08 is within the normal range.
To have a normal tsh result one should be given prophythiouracil or synthroid for life.
0.26-4.20
