In euthyroid subjects, repeated oral doses of TRH produced a greater increase of plasma levels of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) than did a single dose. The TSH response, in contrast, was diminished. To determine if this blunting of the response was mediated by a negative feedback mechanism, we compared the effects of single and repeated oral doses of TRH on TSH, T3, and T4 responses in euthyroid subjects and in patients with primary thyroid failure. Thirty-five euthyroid subjects were given 3 oral doses of 40 mg TRH over a period of 26 h. The mean TSH peak declined from 13.0 µU/ml after the 1st dose to 5,9 µU/ml after the 3rd dose (P < 0.0005). T4 concentrations increased from basal 7.5 to 10.2 µg/100 ml 3 h after the 3rd dose of TRH and T3 from 1.52 to 2.19 ng/ml. Repeated oral doses of TRH were also given to 9 patients with primary hypothyroidism and 9 patients after total thyroid ablation for thyroid carcinoma. The same significant blunting of the TSH response after the 3rd oral dose of TRH ...
