thyroxine and Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal

thyroxine has been researched along with Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal in 32 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.

Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal: Metabolic disorder associated with fractures of the femoral neck, vertebrae, and distal forearm. It occurs commonly in women within 15-20 years after menopause, and is caused by factors associated with menopause including estrogen deficiency.

( Bajkin, I; Ičin, T; Kovačev-Zavišić, B; Medić-Stojanoska, M; Novaković-Paro, J, 2015)

( Grant, DJ; McMurdo, ME; Mole, PA; Paterson, CR, 1995)
"To examine whether suppressive doses of thyroxine have any adverse effects on bone, we evaluated various bone metabolic markers (lectin-precipitated alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, carboxyl-terminal region of type I collagen propeptide, tartrate-resistant alkaline phosphatase, and urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and pyridinium crosslinks), incidence of vertebral deformity, total body and regional (lumbar spine and radius) bone mineral densities (BMDs), and rates of bone loss in 24 late postmenopausal (more than 5 years after menopause) women who were treated with levothyroxine (L-T4) after total thyroidectomy for differentiated carcinoma."3.69Suppressive doses of thyroxine do not accelerate age-related bone loss in late postmenopausal women.

( Davies, RR; Grant, DJ; McMurdo, ME; Mole, PA; Paterson, CR, 1993)
"Of 361 women enrolled in a 2-year calcium supplement trial, 18 received thyroxine for hypothyroidism."3.68Accelerated bone loss in hypothyroid patients overtreated with L-thyroxine. ( Dawson-Hughes, B; Harris, S; Sokoll, LJ; Stall, GM, 1990)
" However, careful titration of T4 dosage to maintain biochemical euthyroidism is a better way to avoid the adverse effect of T4 on bone."2.68Prevention of bone loss induced by thyroxine suppressive therapy in postmenopausal women: the effect of calcium and calcitonin. ( Kung, AW; Yeung, SS, 1996)
"The adverse health effects of thyrotoxicosis have been carefully documented and most practitioners are familiar with the clinical consequences for the patient."2.40Adverse effects of thyroid hormones. ( Williams, JB, 1997)
