Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Thyroxine (T4) and triiodo-L-thyronine (T3)
are iodine-containing hormones produced from thyroglobulin in the
thyroid follicular cells. The stimulation of metabolic rate and
regulation of growth and development by these hormones appear to be due
to their effects on DNA transcription and, thus, protein synthesis.
L-Thyroxine is an iodine containing hormone produced from
thyroglobulin in the thyroid follicular cells. L-Thyroxine reduces total
cholesterol level, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as well as waist
to hip ratio in subclinical hypothyroidism pateints. Hence, facilitates
in improving cardiovascular risk factor as well as can enhance symptoms
of tiredness.
Packaging
1, 5 g in glass bottle
100, 500 mg in glass bottle
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
Preparation Note
L-Thyroxine dissolves in 4M ammonium hydroxide in Methanol at 50
mg/ml to yield a clear to hazy yellow to dark yellow solution.
Application
L-Thyroxine was used to study the light-induced hormone
conversion of T4 to T3 in regulation of photoperiodic response of gonads
in Japanese quail. The
product was used as a test compound for studying the impact of numerous
hormones on the surface morphology of rat testicular cells in culture.
