triiodothyronine and Galactorrhea

triiodothyronine has been researched along with Galactorrhea in 9 studies

Triiodothyronine: A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine : An iodothyronine compound having iodo substituents at the 3-, 3'- and 5-positions. Although some is produced in the thyroid, most of the 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine in the body is generated by mono-deiodination of L-thyroxine in the peripheral tissues. Its metabolic activity is about 3 to 5 times that of L-thyroxine. The sodium salt is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism.

Galactorrhea: Excessive or inappropriate LACTATION in females or males, and not necessarily related to PREGNANCY. Galactorrhea can occur either unilaterally or bilaterally, and be profuse or sparse. Its most common cause is HYPERPROLACTINEMIA.

"In order to determine the role of thyroid hormone in prolactin (PRL) secretion in patients with amenorrhea-galactorrhae, PRL response to 500 mug of iv thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was studied before and after the administration of triiodothyronine (T3) in 10 patients with amenorrhea-galactorrhea."7.65Effect of triiodothyronine treatment on prolactin secretion in patients with amenorrhea-galactorrhea.
