铁缺乏症患儿血清甲状腺素、生长激素

本文没测定了57名铁缺乏症患儿。铁剂治疗前后血清T3、T4、TSH、GH和INS含量、并与健展对照组进行比较。结果表明，铁缺乏患儿血清T3、T4、GH含量明显低于对照组者，血清TSH、INS水平则显著升高。铁剂治疗后随着铁营养状况的改善，上述各指标均恢复正常。表明铁缺乏可影响体内某些激素的代谢，其原因可能与参与激素代谢的含铁酶活性在铁缺乏时减低有关。

EFFECT OF IRON DEFICIENCY ON THYROID HORMONE,GROWTH HORMONE AND INSULIN METABOLISM IN CHILDREN

In this study, serum T3, T4, TSH, GH and INS level in 57 iron deficient children are measured before and after treatment with intramuscular iron respectively and compard with control group. According to the results, the concentrations of serum T3, T4 and GH in iron deficient children are all lower than that in healthy control group, but TSH and INS level are significantly higher than that in the control. After treatment, the concentrations of serum T3, T4, TSH, GH and INS recovered to normal, in parallel with improvement of iron stains. It is concluded that iron deficiency can disturb hormone metabolism. The reason may lie in an activity decrease in iron containing enzymes due to iron deficiency.
