摘要
本实验用已建立的肝细胞核甲状腺激素受体(T_3R)测定法,观察3组中药对"高甲"和"低甲"模型大鼠 T_3R 和甲状腺激素的影响。结果发现滋阴药(生地、玉竹)能降低"高甲"模型血清甲状腺激素水平,同时也降低肝细胞核已升高的 T_3R 的最大结合量(Bmax),使之接近正常。助阳药Ⅰ(附子、肉桂)能升高"低甲"模型血清甲状腺激素水平,但反而降低T_3R 的 Bmax。助阳药Ⅱ(仙灵脾、苁蓉)也升高血清甲状腺激素水平,但对 T_3R 的 Bmax 无显著影响。这3组中药对 T_3R 的 Kd 均无影响。
Hyperthyroxinemia model was made by giving thyroid tablet suspension to Wistar rats and hypothyroxinemia model was made by thyroidectomy.We measured serum thyroid hormone levels by RIA and the parameters of triiodothyronine receptors in rat hepatic cell nucleus by radio-ligand binding assay:Maximal binding capacity(Bmax)and Dissociation constant(Kd).It is found that(1) Yin-tonics can lower serum thyroid hormone levels and Bmax of hepatic nuclear T_3R of hyperthyrox- inemia rat from 167.14±25.62 fmol/100 μg DNA to 98.98±15.24 fmol/100 μg DNA,P<0.001.(2)Both Yang-tonics Ⅰ and Ⅱ can raise serum thyroid hormone levels of hypothyroxinemia rats,but not Bmax of hepatic nuclest T_3R.Yang-tonics Ⅰ even lowers Bmax.All the Chinese herbs have no effect on the Kd of rat hepatic nuclear T_3R.The results may have some value in studying the effects of Chinese medical drugs.
