“…Considering the negative effects of thyrotoxicosis and SNS activation on bone mass, we raised the hypothesis that TH may also interact with the SNS to regulate bone metabolism. A piece of evidence supporting this possible interaction is the fact that the treatment of hyperthyroid patients with propranolol corrects their hypercalcemia (53) and decreases their urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, a biochemical marker of bone resorption (6).…”

“…Increased levels of blood glycerol and ketone bodies and increased urinary hydroxyproline excretion in hyperthyroid patients are reduced by pro¬ pranolol but not by timolol (which has no effect on plasma T3). (43,44) Propranolol decreased oxygen consumption in rela¬ tion to the decrease of plasma T3 in one study'45' but not in another.146' The fall in oxygen consumption, if any, appears to be unrelated to a diminished plasma T3, since atenolol also decreased oxygen consumption in the absence of T3 changes/25' Neither propranolol nor metoprolol modified the increased protein synthesis and degradation in hyperthyroidism. '47·48' Taken together, these studies indicate no metabolic improve¬ ment or only modest benefit due to ß-blockade in thyrotoxicosis.…”

“…One evidence of this possible interaction is the fact that treatment of hyperthyroid patients with propanolol (a β-adrenergic antagonist) corrects the thyrotoxicosis-induced hypercalcemia (76). Furthermore, patients with hypothyroidism treated with propanolol showed a decrease in the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, a biochemical marker for bone resorption (77).…”
