The effect of treatment on the thyroid axis was assessed by measuring T3, T4, rT3 and e\u2010TSH before and at +14 and +28 days. The effect of PTU and BROM on the response of T3, T4, rT3 and e\u2010TSH to thyrotrophin\u2010release hormone (TRH) administration was also assessed before and at +14 and +28 days of treatment.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Treatment with PTU led to a significant reduction in serum concentrations of T3, T4 and rT3 on Day 28 and increase of e\u2010TSH on Day 28 (P &lt; 0.05). Treatment with BROM did not cause any measurable effect on serum concentrations of T3, T4, rT3 or e\u2010TSH. The percentage increment by which serum concentration of T4, T3 and e\u2010TSH increased following stimulation with TRH was decreased by treatment with PTU for 28 days (P &lt; 0.05) but were not affected by treatment with BROM for 28 days.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    : These results suggest that 1) treatment with PTU may be used in horses as a model of primary hypothyroidism; 2) the use of BROM as a model of secondary hypothyroidism in horses is not supported; and 3) e\u2010TSH assay deserves further investigation for the clinical diagnosis of thyroid axis dysfunction in horses.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Potential relevance<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Propylthiouracil effectively causes primary hypothyroidism. There is substantial variability between horses with respect to their sensitivity to this substance when administered orally. Further studies pertaining to the characterisation of equine thyroid disorders are warranted and the use of both PTU for the experimental induction of primary hypothyroidism and e\u2010TSH for the diagnostic characterisation of thyroid disorders in horses should be considered.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2746\/042516403776148309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,12]],"date-time":"2007-04-12T19:03:27Z","timestamp":1176404607000},"page":"296-301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Effects of propylthiouracil and bromocryptine on serum concentrations of thyrotrophin and thyroid hormones in normal female horses"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"P.
