Effects of thyroidectomy on development of skeletal muscle in fetal sheep

Abstract: The influence of the thyroid gland on the functional and histochemical development of fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscle of fetal sheep has been studied in euthyroid fetal sheep (n = 6) and athyroid fetuses (n = 4) surgically thyroid-ectomized at 70-75 days of gestation. Two fast-twitch muscles, the medial gastrocnemius and extensor digitorum longus, and the slow-twitch soleus muscle were studied at the fetal age of 140 days gestation. The athyroid fetuses had significantly slower twitch contraction and rel… Show more

“…<2 pg ml-') 20-40 days after HPX (Wrutniak, Cabello & Bosc, 1986), it has also been noted that fetal plasma free-T4 concentrations decrease slowly after removal of the pituitary (Wrutniak et al 1986). Thus, the less marked effects of HPX on the two fast-twitch muscles compared with thyroidectomy (Finkelstein et al 1991) may reflect the presence of significant, though decreasing, concentrations of free-T4 in the fetal circulation for some time after the removal of the pituitary gland at 90 days gestation. Also, it is possible that in the absence of the severe growth retardation of the CNS, which is characteristic of thyroidectomy (Bhakthavathsalan et al 1977), but not HPX (Mesiano et al 1987;Deayton et al 1993) (Wrutniak et al 1986;Mesiano et al 1987).…”

“…O HT afeta o desenvolvimento normal do músculo esquelético de vertebrados, sendo primordial para o desenvolvimento da massa muscular e da diferenciação das características bioquímicas e contráteis do tecido (Finkelstein et al, 1991). Os HTs modulam reações de consumo de energia (contração e relaxamento) bem como reações dentro de vias de produção de energia com a deficiência tireoidea levando à debilidade muscular e fadiga excessiva (Silvestri et al, 2007).…”

“…Por outro lado, Wang e colaboradores (1999) não encontraram alteração na imunoexpressão de miomesina no coração submetido à sobrecarga de pressão (Wang et al, 1999). Finalmente, a imunoexpressão foi utilizada para avaliar a abundância de miomesina em hamsters distróficos e nenhuma alteração foi encontrada (Finkelstein et al, 1991). Os HTs modulam reações de consumo de energia (contração e relaxamento) bem como reações de produção de energia, sendo assim, uma alteração dos níveis de HTs pode levar à fraqueza muscular e fadiga (Silvestri et al, 2007).…”
