We have studied the thyroid function of high-altitude-acclimated (6,900 m for 5 wk) and nonaltitude-acclimated control (198 m) rats. After 5 wk of high-altitude exposure the plasma concentrations of both thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were lower than those in control rats (4.7 +/- 0.3 vs. 3.3 +/- 0.2 microgram/dl and 96 +/- 5 vs. 74 +/- 6 ng/dl, respectively). The plasma thyrotropin (TSH) concentration was elevated in the high-altitude-acclimated rats compared with controls (52 +/- 4 vs. 29 +/- 3 micrograms/dl, respectively). Gross anatomical (thyroid wt/body wt) and histological observations of thyroid tissue were consistent with elevated plasma TSH concentrations. These results suggest that the fall in the plasma concentrations of T4 and T3 during acclimation to severe hypoxia is due to a primary block of thyroid secretion and not to a fall in plasma TSH levels.

Vitamin D plays an essential role in prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Thyroid hormones, in addition to vitamin D, significantly contribute to regulation of bone remodeling cycle and health. There is currently no data about a possible connection between vitamin D treatment and the thyroid in the context of osteoporosis. Middle-aged Wistar rats were divided into: sham operated (SO), orchidectomized (Orx), and cholecalciferol-treated orchidectomized (Orx + Vit. D3; 5 µg/kg b.m./day during three weeks) groups (n = 6/group). Concentration of 25(OH)D in serum of the Orx + Vit. D3 group increased 4 and 3.2 times (p < 0.0001) respectively, compared to Orx and SO group. T4, TSH, and calcitonin in serum remained unaltered. Vit. D3 treatment induced changes in thyroid functional morphology that indicate increased utilization of stored colloid and release of thyroid hormones in comparison with hormone synthesis, to maintain hormonal balance. Increased expression of nuclear VDR (p < 0.05) points to direct, TSH independent action of Vit. D on thyrocytes. Strong CYP24A1 immunostaining in C cells suggests its prominent expression in response to Vit. D in this cell subpopulation in orchidectomized rat model of osteoporosis. The indirect effect of Vit. D on bone, through fine regulation of thyroid function, is small.
