    • Context: The psychosocial health and working capacity in hypopituitary patients receiving long-term growth hormone (GH) therapy are unknown. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanObjective: Psychosocial health and levels of employment were compared between GH deficient (GHD) patients on long-term replacement and the general population. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanDesign and participants: In a Swedish nationwide study, 851 GHD patients [101 childhood onset (CO) and 750 adult onset (AO)] and 2622 population controls answered a questionnaire regarding current living, employment and educational level, alcohol consumption and smoking habits. The median time on GH therapy for both men and women with CO GHD was 9 years and for AO GHD 6 years, respectively. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanResults: As compared to the controls, the GHD patients were less often working full time, more often on sick leave/disability pension, and to a larger extent alcohol abstainers and never smokers (all; P andlt; 0.05). Predominantly CO GHD women and men, but to some extent also AO GHD women and men, lived less frequently with a partner and more often with their parents. Particularly AO GHD craniopharyngioma women used more antidepressants, while AO GHD men with a craniopharyngioma used more analgesics. less thanbrgreater than less thanbrgreater thanConclusions: A working capacity to the level of the general population was not achieved among hypopituitary patients, although receiving long-term GH therapy. Patients were less likely to use alcohol and tobacco. The CO GHD population lived a less independent life.

  • Reduced cerebrospinal fluid level of thyroxine in patients with Alzheimer's disease
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Psychoneuroendocrinology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-3360 .- 0306-4530. ; 38:7, s. 1058-1066
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Little is known of the association between thyroid hormones in the central nervous system and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We determined thyroid hormone levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a well-defined homogeneous mono-center population. Methods: Fifty-nine consecutive patients under primary evaluation for cognitive impairment were recruited. The participants included patients with AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) diagnosed with AD upon follow-up (n = 31), patients with stable MCI (SMCI, n = 13), patients with other dementias (n = 15), and healthy controls (n = 19). Thyroid hormones in serum and CSF and AD biomarkers in CSF were analyzed using established immunochemical assays. Cognitive impairment was estimated using mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Results: Serum levels of free and total thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were similar in all groups whereas a marginal increase in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level was observed in the AD patients. The CSF level of total T4 was decreased in patients with AD and other dementias compared to SMCI (both P = 0.01) and healthy controls (both P = 0.001), whereas CSF levels of TSH and total T3 were unchanged. In the total study population, CSF total 14 level correlated positively with MMSE score (r = 0.26, P < 0.05) and negatively with CSF total-tau (T-Tau) level (r = -0.23, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Patients with AD as well as other dementias had signs of mild brain hypothyroidism, which could only to a small extent be detected in serum values. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Altered thyroid hormone profile in patients with Alzheimer's disease
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Psychoneuroendocrinology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0306-4530. ; 121
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Epidemiological studies have linked higher levels of thyroid hormones (THs) to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas in advanced AD, THs have been unchanged or even decreased. In early AD dementia, little is known whether THs are related to AD neuropathology or brain morphology. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 36 euthyroid AD patients and 34 healthy controls recruited at a single memory clinic. Levels of THs were measured in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In addition, we determined AD biomarkers (amyloid-beta(1-42), total tau and phosphorylated tau) in CSF and hippocampal and amygdalar volumes using magnetic resonance imaging.2 Results: Serum free thyroxine (FT4) levels were elevated, whereas serum free triiodothyronine (FT3)/FT4 and total T3 (TT3)/total T4 (TT4) ratios were decreased, in AD patients compared to controls. In addition, serum TT4 was marginally higher in AD (p = 0.05 vs. the controls). Other TH levels in serum as well as CSF concentrations of THs were similar in both groups, and there were no correlations between THs and CSF AD biomarkers. However, serum FT3 correlated positively with left amygdalar volume in AD patients and serum TT3 correlated positively with left and right hippocampal volume in controls. Conclusions: Thyroid hormones were moderately altered in mild AD dementia with increased serum FT4, and in addition, the reduced T3/T4 ratios may suggest decreased peripheral conversion of T4 to T3. Furthermore, serum T3 levels were related to brain structures involved in AD development.

  • Higher thyroid function is associated with accelerated hippocampal volume loss in Alzheimer's disease
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Psychoneuroendocrinology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0306-4530. ; 139
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: In epidemiological studies, higher thyroid hormone (TH) levels have been associated with lower brain volume and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in elderly individuals. However, the relationships between serum THs and hippocampal atrophy rates have previously not been investigated. Methods: A prospective study of patients with AD (n = 55), stable mild cognitive impairment (sMCI; n = 84) and healthy controls (n = 29) recruited at a single memory clinic. We investigated whether serum THs were associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-estimated hippocampal volumes at baseline and with longitudinal alterations, defined as annualized percent changes. Results: Serum levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3) and FT3/free thyroxine (FT4) ratio were reduced in AD and sMCI patients compared with the controls (p < 0.05). Hierarchical linear regression analyses showed that higher serum FT3/FT4 ratio was associated with greater baseline hippocampal volume in all study groups. Only in AD patients, higher serum FT4 was associated with lower baseline volume of the left hippocampus. Finally, exclusively in the AD group, higher serum levels of FT3 and FT3/FT4 ratio, and lower serum TSH levels, were associated with greater annual hippocampal volume loss. Conclusions: In all study groups, FT3/FT4 ratio was related to baseline hippocampal volume. However, only in AD patients, higher levels of THs were associated with greater annual loss of hippocampal volume, suggesting that excessive TH levels exert a deleterious effect on the hippocampus in the presence of existing AD neuropathology. © 2022 The Authors

    • In epidemiological studies, thyroid hormones (THs) have been associated with the risk of dementia. However, little is known of the relation between THs and risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) or vascular dementia (VaD) in a memory clinic population.In a mono-center study, serum concentrations of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), and free triiodothyronine (FT3) were assessed in 302 patients. All patients had subjective or objective mild cognitive impairment and none received treatment with THs. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses was used to determine whether THs at baseline were associated with the risk of conversion to all-cause dementia, AD or VaD.During the follow-up (mean 2.8 years), 82 (28%) of the patients progressed to dementia [AD, n = 55 (18%) and VaD, n = 17 (6%)]. Serum concentrations of TSH, FT4, and FT3 did not associate with all-cause dementia or VaD. Higher serum FT3 was associated with lower risk of conversion to AD [hazard ratio (HR) = 054; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.32-0.92 per 1 pmol/L increase]. Furthermore, patients in the lowest serum FT3 quartile had a twofold increased risk of AD compared to those in the highest quartile (HR = 2.63; 95% CI: 1.06-6.47). These associations remained after adjustment for multiple covariates.In a memory clinic population, there was an inverse, linear association between serum FT3 and risk of AD whereas THs did not associate with all-cause dementia or VaD. Further studies are needed to determine the underlying mechanisms as well as the clinical significance of these findings.

  • Low serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) level is associated with increased risk of vascular dementia
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Psychoneuroendocrinology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0306-4530. ; 86, s. 169-175
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is important for the adult brain, but little is known of the role of IGF-I in Alzheimeŕs disease (AD) or vascular dementia (VaD). Methods A prospective study of 342 patients with subjective or objective mild cognitive impairment recruited at a single memory clinic. We determined whether serum IGF-I concentrations at baseline were associated with the risk of all-cause dementia, AD, or VaD. Patients developing mixed forms of AD and VaD were defined as suffering from VaD. The statistical analyses included Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results During the follow-up (mean 3.6 years), 95 (28%) of the patients developed all-cause dementia [AD, n = 37 (11%) and VaD, n = 42 (12%)]. Low as well as high serum IGF-I (quartile 1 or 4 vs. quartiles 2–3) did not associate with all-cause dementia [crude hazard ratio (HR) 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.81–2.08 and crude HR 1.05, 95% CI: 0.63–1.75, respectively] or AD (crude HR 0.79, 95% CI: 0.35–1.79 and crude HR 0.94, 95% CI: 0.43–2.06, respectively]. In contrast, low serum IGF-I concentrations were associated with increased risk of VaD (quartile 1 vs. quartiles 2–3, crude HR 2.22, 95% CI: 1.13–4.36). The latter association remained significant also after adjustment for multiple covariates. Conclusions In a memory clinic population, low serum IGF-I was a risk marker for subsequent VaD whereas low IGF-I did not associate with the risk of AD. High serum IGF-I was not related to the risk of conversion to dementia. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd
