  • Title: Comparison of the ability of thyroxine and triiodothyronine to suppress TRH-induced TSH secretion by perfused rat anterior pituitary fragments.
    Author: Ikeda H, Uchimura H, Greer MA.
    Journal: Neuroendocrinology; 1985 Jul; 41(1):79-82. PubMed ID: 3927182.
    Abstract:
    Adenohypophyseal fragments from 8 rats were perifused in small 0.2-ml chambers with medium alone or with medium containing 0.2 or 2 micrograms/dl T3 or 20 micrograms/dl T4. The TSH secretion in response to 1-min perifusion with 3 X 10(-8) M TRH was measured before and at 20- to 40-min intervals after beginning T4 or T3 perifusions. A similar temporal course of inhibition of TRH-induced TSH secretion was produced by both iodothyronines, suggesting but not proving that T4 may inhibit the TSH secretion by a direct effect not dependent on its prior intra- or extrapituitary conversion to T3.
