| Research Abstract |
When patients with T_3 -predominant Graves' disease were compared with usual Graves' disease patients,
1. Serum autoantibodies to thyroid peroxidase and TSH receptor were higher, while autoantibodies to thyroglobulin were not different. Thyroid-stimulating antibodies determined by cultured porcine thyroid cells were greater.
2. The goiter size was greater with more hyperplastic epithelium and more intracolloidal vacuoles.
3. Thyroid ^<123>I uptake was higher at 3h than 24h, suggesting enhanced thyroidal iodine turnover.
4. The degree of exophthalmos of Graves' disease was not different.
5. The activity of thyroid peroxidase was greater, while thyroglobulin content in the thyroid was smaller. Iodine content in thyroglobulin was also smaller. Thyroid 5' -deiodinase was greater, which may be one of the causes of increased serum T_3 relative to T_4.
6. An experiment of coupling reaction using individual microsomal fractions and pooled thyroglobulin showed relatively increased T_3 production than T_4, suggesting a unique characteristic of thyroid peroxidase in this disorder.
7. Clinical follow-up study showed that remission of hyperthyroidism was hardly obtained by antithyroid drug therapy. After subtotal thyroidectomy, the frequency of relapse was greater. While, after radioiodine therapy, the frequency of late-onset hypothyroidism was lower, indicating that radioiodine therapy is beneficial in this type of Graves' disease.
