THE FUNCTION OF HYPOPHYSIS-THYROID SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH ALCOHOLISM DEPENDING ON IODINE SUFFICIENCY OF THE HUMAN BODY
Keywords:
hypophysis-thyroid system, alcoholism, iodine-conditioned sufficiency, hormoneAbstract
The aim of our investigation was to study the hypophysis- thyroid status of a body in
patients with alcoholism, the inhabitants of various biogeochemical zones of the
Transcarpathia, in the highlands – with expressed iodine deficiency and in the
lowlands – with lower degree of iodine insufficiency. The content of thyroxin,
triiodothyromine, thyrotropic hormone in blood serum has been defined by
radioimmunologic method with the use of standard test- sets. The general iodine in
the blood and urine has been studied by cerium-arsenide method. The peculiarities
as to the influence of various ecologically iodine supply of the body upon TSH
function of the hypophysis, hormone function of the thyroid gland, iodine reserves of
the body both in practically healthy people and in alcoholism have been established.
Alcoholism has been shown to be accompanied by the increased losses of iodine
with urine and the depletion of the iodine reserves of the body, the increase of T3
level in blood serum both in lowlands and highlands of the Transcarpathia, it being
characterized by different degrees of iodine deficiency complicating the existing
iodine deficiency of the body. These findings may be good reasons for including
iodine correction into the treatment of alcoholism.
