Descripción

Thyroxine ethyl ester is a hormone that is used to treat hypothyroidism. It is taken by mouth and has a low absorption rate when taken orally. Thyroxine ethyl ester binds to iodothyronine receptors in the thyroid gland and activates them, leading to increased production of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The uptake of thyroxine ethyl ester into the body can be inhibited by sodium salts or other compounds that bind to it. Thyroxine ethyl ester does not affect cholesterol levels or lipid levels, but it does increase plasma cholesterol. This drug also has no effect on light emission or on conjugates. Immobilized thyroxine ethyl ester has been shown to be insensitive to the inhibitory effects of TSH on its production in vitro.
