thyroxine and Lymphedema

thyroxine has been researched along with Lymphedema 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.

Lymphedema: Edema due to obstruction of lymph vessels or disorders of the lymph nodes.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Treatment of 29 cases of chronic lymphedema of various origins, mostly of the lower limbs, by manual lymph drainage massage resulted in significant changes of neurohormone excretion in the urine, whereas the secretion of 17-KS, thyroxine, minerals, and creatinine was not significantly changed."3.66Effect of manual lymph drainage massage on urinary excretion of neurohormones and minerals in chronic lymphedema. ( Kurz, W; Litmanovitch, YI; Pfeifer, Y; Romanoff, H; Sulman, FG; Tal, E; Wittlinger, G, 1978)
