The hypophyseothyroid system in patients with nonspecific diseases of the lungs exposed to low dose radiation
Creators
Description
The study aimed at detection of hypophyseothyroid correlations in subjects with chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases who formerly participated in the liquidation of Chernobyl accident consequences. Relationship between hypophyseal and thyroid hormones with estimation of correlation coefficient and specific coefficients for TTH, STH, and PRL were investigated in 23 men hospitalized in 1988-1989. A group of 22 male patients with chronic nonspecific diseases of the lungs without a history of radiation exposure were controls. A stronger correlation between the most active physiologically labile forms of thyroid hormones in the presence of hypothyrosis and a weaker regulating TTH-T3 relationship were revealed in exposed subjects. A closer relationship with the thyroid system was revealed for PRL, as well as a more active part in the realization of the TTH-STH relationship. 2 refs., 2 tabs
