  • Title: Monoamine oxidase and aspartate aminotransferase in cellular fractions of thyroid gland in rats after hypophysectomy and TSH stimulation.
    Author: Knopp J, Orlicky J.
    Journal: Biochem Exp Biol; 1979; 15(3):257-61. PubMed ID: 555678.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) and aspartate aminotransferase activities in cellular fractions of thyroid gland in rats after hypophysectomy and TSH treatment were investigated. MAO and aspartate aminotransferase activities in thyroid mitochondria were decreased after hypophysectomy and significantly increased after daily injection of TSH during five days to hypophysectomized rats. In microsomes after hypophysectomy a similar decrease of MAO activity was found but TSH was without effect on this activity. IN CONCLUSION: it is evident that MAO and aspartate aminotransferase in thyroid mitochondria the enzymes which could be a source for hydrogen peroxide to catalyze thyroid hormone synthesis are under the regulatory influence of TSH.
