Abstract
The action of iodide on the cyclic AMP system of dog thyroid slices has been studied. Iodide inhibits the enhancement of cyclic AMP accumulation in the presence of TSH. Such an effect is also observed in horse, beef and sheep thyroid slices, but not in dog kidney slices stimulated by parathyroid hormone or in rat parotid slices stimulated by isoproterenol. The effect in dog thyroid slices is suppressed by 1mM NaClO4, 1mM methimazole and 1mM propylthiouracil. Similar data have been obtained for prostaglandin E1 stimulation. Effects of thyrotropin mediated by cyclic AMP, i.e., activation of iodothyronine secretion, 1-14C-glucose oxidation, and lactate formation, were also inhibited by iodide but not by iodide and methimazole. Similar activations when caused by dbcAMP were not inhibited by iodide. The data suggest a model in which an intracellular agent resulting from the oxidation of iodide acts on the thyroid cyclic AMP system.
