    Abstract Thyroid function affects multiple sites of the female hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis. Disruption of thyroid function has been linked to reproductive dysfunction in women and is associated with menstrual irregularity, infertility, poor pregnancy outcomes, and gynecological conditions such as premature ovarian insufficiency and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Thus, the complex molecular interplay between hormones involved in thyroid and reproductive functions is further compounded by the association of certain common autoimmune states with disorders of the thyroid and the HPG axes. Furthermore, in prepartum and intrapartum states, even relatively minor disruptions have been shown to adversely impact maternal and fetal outcomes, with some differences of opinion in the management of these conditions. In this review, we provide readers with a foundational understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of thyroid hormone interactions with the female HPG axis. We also share clinical insights into the management of thyroid dysfunction in reproductive-aged women.

    Abstract A middle-aged woman with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to obstructive nephropathy presented to the hospital for an episode of unresponsiveness and hypoglycaemia. Initially, she was diagnosed with hypoglycaemia associated with ESRD and was discharged. However, she returned to the hospital after experiencing tonic-clonic seizures and recurrent hypoglycaemia. Her hypoglycaemia workup revealed an elevated insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) to IGF1 ratio consistent with paraneoplastic IGF2 secretion. Subsequently, a CT abdomen revealed a retroperitoneal mass, found to be a retroperitoneal sarcoma. Her hypoglycaemia was treated with glucocorticoids and growth hormone. Surgical debulking of her tumour was attempted, but she expired due to postoperative haemorrhagic shock. Doege-Potter syndrome is a rare cause of hypoglycaemia which should be suspected in any new-onset, worsening, inexplicable or refractory hypoglycaemia, particularly in non-diabetic ESRD. Here we present a report of retroperitoneal sarcoma presenting with hypoglycaemia in a patient with ESRD without diabetes.

    Abstract Sleep has a bidirectional relationship with the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, and both these homeostatic processes are inter-dependent for robust physiological functioning. The quality and quantity of sleep influence the circadian pattern of TSH and thyroid hormone secretion. Short term sleep restriction significantly reduces the amplitude of nocturnal TSH secretion and may modulate active thyroid hormone secretion, likely through an increased sympathetic tone. Conversely, TSH and active thyroid hormone affect the quantity and architecture of sleep. For instance, low TSH values are permissive for slow wave sleep and maintenance of normal sleep architecture, while the hypo- or hyper-secretion of active thyroid hormones adversely affects the quality and quantity of sleep. Structural thyroid disorders may also be associated with an altered circadian clock - a phenomenon warranting further investigation. In this review, we aim to provide readers a comprehensive review on the associations between the HPT axis and sleep patterns.

    Abstract Subclinical hypothyroid men characterized by a rise in only thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and normal thyroid hormone levels showed a fall in their serum progesterone and testosterone levels. This suggested a role of TSH in regulating Leydig cell steroidogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the direct role of TSH on steroid production and secretion using a mouse Leydig tumour cell line, MLTC-1. MLTC-1 cells were treated with different doses of TSH isolated from porcine pituitary as well as recombinant TSH. Steroid secretion was measured by radioimmunoassay. The mRNA levels of steroidogenic enzymes were quantitated by real time PCR whereas the corresponding protein levels were determined by Western blot. In MLTC-1 cells, pituitary TSH as well as recombinant TSH inhibited progesterone and testosterone secretion in a dose dependent manner. The inhibitory action of TSH on steroid secretion was unique and not mimicked by other anterior pituitary hormones including FSH and ACTH. Recombinant TSH showed no effect on StAR and CYP11A1, the enzymes catalysing the non-steroidogenic and steroidogenic rate-limiting steps of steroid synthesis respectively. Recombinant TSH was shown to inhibit steroidogenesis in MLTC-1 cells by inhibiting the 3β hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase mRNA and protein levels, the enzyme that catalyses the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone. This inhibitory effect of TSH is probably direct as both mRNA and protein of the TSH receptor were shown to be present in the MLTC-1 cells.

Therefore, we investigated the direct role of TSH on steroid production and secretion using a mouse Leydig tumor cell line-1 (MLTC-1). MLTC-1 cells were treated with different doses of TSH isolated from porcine pituitary as well as recombinant TSH. Steroid secretion was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The mRNA levels of steroidogenic enzymes were quantitated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), whereas the corresponding protein levels were determined by western blot. In MLTC-1 cells, pituitary TSH as well as recombinant TSH inhibited progesterone and testosterone secretion in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory action of TSH on steroid secretion was unique and not mimicked by other anterior pituitary hormones including follicle stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone. Recombinant TSH showed no effect on steroidogenic acute regulatory protein and CYP11A1, the enzymes catalyzing the nonsteroidogenic and steroidogenic rate-limiting steps of steroid synthesis, respectively. Recombinant TSH was shown to inhibit steroidogenesis in MLTC-1 cells by inhibiting the 3-β hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase mRNA and protein levels, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone. This inhibitory effect of TSH is probably direct as both mRNA and protein of the TSH receptor were shown to be present in the MLTC-1 cells.

    Abstract COVID-19 has affected millions of people across the world but disproportionately and severely affects persons with metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
