Effect of STZ-induced hyperglycemia on plasma TSH, T3 and T4 levels

ABSTRACT

STZ hyperglycemia was characterized by two phases; namely, first grade hyperglycemia, where mild elevation in the blood sugar level was indicated, and a second grade accompanied by a well marked hyperglycemia. Determination of plasma hormonal levels of TSH, T3 and T4, by RIA, proved the incidence of variable fluctuations. The results obtained were statistically analyzed and discussed
