thyroxine and Cachexia

thyroxine has been researched along with Cachexia in 8 studies

Thyroxine: The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.
thyroxine : An iodothyronine compound having iodo substituents at the 3-, 3'-, 5- and 5'-positions.

Cachexia: General ill health, malnutrition, and weight loss, usually associated with chronic disease.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a patient with hyperthyroidism resulting in cachexia, severe cardiac complications and functional renal failure, and a second case of hyperthyroidism refractory to carbimazole as a result of iodine overload, the administration of 1 to 3 g of lithium gluconate every 1 to 3 days, in association with carbimazole, led to persistent clinical and biological improvement in 8 to 16 days."7.65[Do lithium salts have a place in the treatment of severe hyperthyroidism? (author's transl)]. ( Eulry, F; Mornex, R; Orgiazzi, J, 1977)
