thyroxine and Pneumococcal Infections

thyroxine has been researched along with Pneumococcal Infections in 10 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.

Pneumococcal Infections: Infections with bacteria of the species STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The present studies were conducted in an attempt to assess the in vivo contribution of leukocytes and peripheral leukocytosis to the enhancement of L-thyroxine (T4) clearance seen during infection, and to evaluate further the possible roles of fever and of changes in the extracellular binding of T4."7.65Accelerated host metabolism of L-thyroxine during acute infection: role of the leukocyte and peripheral leukocytosis.
