Abstract
The possibly that propranolol may exert its beneficial actions in thyrotoxicosis by an effect on thyroid hormone concentrations was investigated by measuring these and O consumption in a group of thyrotoxic patients before and after propranolol treatment. Following treatment a significant fall in plasma T3 [triiodothyronine] concentration and O consumption occurred and a direct correlation was found between these 2 variables. Propranolol may, therefore, exert some of its beneficial effects in thyrotoxicosis by an action on T3 metabolism.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
