M. is a 59-year-old postmenopausal woman. The serum T4 is 8 microg/dl (n. 6 – 12); TSH is 4 microg/dl (n. 2 – 10). Body weight – 190 pounds, and she complains of depression. Her physician prescribes a low dosage of T4 to “pep her up”. What changes would you expect to see 4 weeks after the initiation of treatment?
1. the size of thyroid will be reduced
2. serum TSH will decrease
3. serum T4 will decrease
4. the basal metabolism rate will be elevated.
Biologic actions of thyroid hormones include all of the following except:
1. stimulate protein synthesis and proteolysis
2. increase Na-K- ATP-ase activity
3. increase oxidative phosphorylation
4. stimulate growth and vascularity of the thyroid gland.
5. stimulate glycogenesis
