thyroxine and Gallstones

thyroxine has been researched along with Gallstones in 2 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.

Gallstones: Solid crystalline precipitates in the BILIARY TRACT, usually formed in the GALLBLADDER, resulting in the condition of CHOLELITHIASIS. Gallstones, derived from the BILE, consist mainly of calcium, cholesterol, or bilirubin.

" We have previously shown increased prevalence of diagnosed hypothyroidism in CBDS patients, thyroxine (T(4)) -induced inhibition of the SO contractility both in animal and in human experiments ex vivo, and reduced bile flow to duodenum in hypothyroid rats."3.72Is bile flow reduced in patients with hypothyroidism?
