<h1>Ray Peat Deutsche Übersetzungen</h1> | |||||
</header> | |||||
<div class="text-slab"> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Auf dieser Seite befindet sich eine Auswahl der Artikel von Dr. Raymond Peat, die ich in meiner | |||||
Freizeit ins Deutsche übersetzt habe. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Ray Peat war ein US-Amerikaner aus Eugene, Oregon, der neben seinem Studium von Linguistik, | |||||
Literatur, und Malerei eine Promotion in der Biologie und Physiologie des Alterns und degenerativer | |||||
Krankheiten absolvierte, mit besonderem Fokus auf Zellen-Stoffwechsel, Hormone, und | |||||
Ernährungsphysiologie. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Nach mehreren Jahren als Professor an diversen Universitäten in den USA und Mexiko begann er Artikel | |||||
in Form eines Newsletters herauszugeben, von denen mehrere auf <a href="http://raypeat.com/" | |||||
>seiner Website</a> zu finden sind. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Da er in meinem Leben zu einem enormen Verständnis meines Körpers und einem unglaublichen | |||||
Zurückerlangen meiner Gesundheit und meines Wohlbefindens trotz dem Scheitern mehrerer Ärzte | |||||
beigetragen hat, und sein Nachlass in Deutschland kaum Publikum aufgrund schwieriger physiologischer | |||||
Texte genießt, habe ich entschieden hauptsächlich für Freunde und Bekannte einige seiner Artikel ins | |||||
Deutsche zu übersetzen, damit vielleicht auch ein breiteres Publikum von seinen Ideen profitieren | |||||
könnte. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Falls was bei der Übersetzung auffällt oder besonders unidiomatisch klingt, bzw. der deutschen | |||||
Fachsprache der Medizin nicht gerecht sein sollte, kannst du mir unter <DJEmail /> eine Mail senden. | |||||
Meine Muttersprache ist schließlich Englisch und ich bin kein professioneller Übersetzer! | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Zusätzlich zu der Funktion, den Artikel mit dem Button oben in der Originalversion anzusehen, hat | |||||
jeder Absatz oben rechts beim drüberhovern mit der Maus einen zusätzlichen Button über den man den | |||||
jeweiligen Absatz in die andere Sprache wechseln kann, um die Versionen beim Lesen schnell zu | |||||
vergleichen zu können. | |||||

medicine treated scientific nutrition as an illegitimate step-child, and | |||||
refused throughout the 20th century to recognize that it is a central part of | |||||
scientific health care. In the 1970s, physicians and dietitians were still | |||||
ridiculing the idea that vitamin E could prevent or cure diseases of the | |||||
circulatory system, and babies as well as older people were given "total | |||||
intravenous nutrition" which lacked nutrients that are essential to life, | |||||
growth, immunity, and healing. Medicine and science are powerfully | |||||
institutionalized, but no institution or profession has existed for the | |||||
purpose of encouraging people to act reasonably. | |||||

Die Ernährungswissenschaft ist eine der wichtigsten Naturwissenschaften und sollte gewiss das Prestige | |||||
und die Finanzierung erhalten wie die Astro- oder Kernphysik. Doch obwohl es im Englischen oft gesagt wird, | |||||
dass "man kein Raketenforscher sein muss, um das zu verstehen", ist hier nie die Rede von einem | |||||
Ernährungswissenschaftler. Das liegt teilweise daran, dass die Ernährungswissenschaft von der Medizin wie ein | |||||
uneheliches Stiefkind behandelt wurde, und im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts weigerte man sich, sie als | |||||
zentraler Teil des wissenschaftlichen Gesundheitswesens anzuerkennen. Ärzte und Ernährungsberater verpotteten | |||||
noch bis in die 1970er die Idee, dass Vitamin E Herzkreislauferkrankungen vorbeugen oder sie sogar heilen | |||||
könnte, und Säuglinge sowie ältere Menschen bekamen "totale parentale Ernährung", denen Nährstoffe fehlte, die | |||||
fürs Leben, das Wachstum, die Immunität und Heilung notwendig sind. Die Medizin und die Naturwissenschaften sind | |||||

In this environment, most people have felt that subtleties of definition, | |||||
logic and evidence weren"t important for nutrition, and a great amount of | |||||
energy has gone into deciding whether there were "four food groups" or "seven | |||||
food groups" or a "nutritional pyramid." The motives behind governmental and | |||||
quasi-governmental nutrition policies usually represent something besides a | |||||
simple scientific concern for good health, as when health care institutions | |||||
say that Mexican babies should begin eating beans when they reach the age of | |||||
six months, or that non-whites don"t need milk after they are weaned. In a | |||||
culture that discourages prolonged breast feeding, the effects of these | |||||
doctrines can be serious. | |||||

Die Motivationen, die hinter staatlicher bzw. pseudo-staatlicher Ernährungspolitik stecken, stellen | |||||
normalerweise etwas anderes außer einfachem wissentschaftlichen Interesse für gute Gesundheit dar. So wird | |||||
beispielweise behauptet, dass mexikanische Säuglinge nach dem Alter von sechs Monaten anfangen sollten, Bohnen | |||||

The bad effects ascribed to coffee usually involve administering large doses | |||||
in a short period of time. While caffeine is commonly said to raise blood | |||||
pressure, this effect is slight, and may not occur during the normal use of | |||||
coffee. Experimenters typically ignore essential factors. Drinking plain water | |||||
can cause an extreme rise in blood pressure, especially in old people, and | |||||
eating a meal (containing carbohydrate) lowers blood pressure. The increased | |||||
metabolic rate caffeine produces increases the cellular consumption of | |||||
glucose, so experiments that study the effects of coffee taken on an empty | |||||
stomach are measuring the effects of increased temperature and metabolic rate, | |||||
combined with increased adrenaline (resulting from the decrease of glucose), | |||||
and so confuse the issue of caffeine"s intrinsic effects. | |||||

typischerweise wesentliche Faktoren. Das Trinken von einfachem Wasser kann für einen extremen Antieg des | |||||
Blutdrucks sorgen, insbesondere bei älteren Menschen, und eine Mahlzeit (mit Kohlenhydraten) kann ihn wiederum | |||||
senken. Der erhöhte Stoffwechsel, für den Koffein sorgt, steigert den zellulären Glukosekonsum. Wenn Forcher | |||||

In one study (Krasil"nikov, 1975), the drugs were introduced directly into the | |||||

One of the most popular misconceptions about caffeine is that it causes | |||||
fibrocystic breast disease. Several groups demonstrated pretty clearly that it | |||||
doesn"t, but there was no reason that they should have had to bother, except | |||||
for an amazingly incompetent, but highly publicized, series of | |||||
articles--classics of their kind--by J. P. Minton, of Ohio State University. | |||||
Minton neglected to notice that the healthy breast contains a high percentage | |||||
of fat, and that the inflamed and diseased breast has an increased proportion | |||||
of glandular material Fat cells have a low level of cyclic AMP, a regulatory | |||||
substance that is associated with normal cellular differentiation and | |||||
function, and is involved in mediating caffeine"s ability to inhibit cancer | |||||
cell multiplication. Minton argued that cAMP increases progressively with the | |||||
degree of breast disease, up to cancer, and that cAMP is increased by | |||||
caffeine. A variety of substances other than caffeine that inhibit the growth | |||||
of cancer cells (as well as normal breast cells) act by | |||||
<em>increasing</em> the amount of cyclic AMP, while estrogen lowers the amount | |||||
of cAMP and increases cell growth. Minton"s argument should have been to use | |||||
more caffeine, in proportion to the degree of breast disease, if he were | |||||
arguing logically from his evidence. Caffeine"s effect on the breast resembles | |||||
that of progesterone, opposing estrogen"s effects. | |||||

Many studies over the last 30 years have shown caffeine to be highly | |||||
protective against all kinds of carcinogenesis, including estrogen"s | |||||
carcinogenic effects on the breast. Caffeine is now being used along with some | |||||
of the standard cancer treatments, to improve their effects or to reduce their | |||||
side effects. There are substances in the coffee berry besides caffeine that | |||||
protect against mutations and cancer, and that have shown strong therapeutic | |||||
effects against cancer. Although many plant substances are protective against | |||||
mutations and cancer, I don"t know of any that is as free of side effects as | |||||
coffee. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
To talk about caffeine, it"s necessary to talk about uric acid. | |||||
<strong> | |||||
Uric acid, synthesized in the body, is both a stimulant and a very important | |||||
antioxidant, and its structure is very similar to that of caffeine. | |||||
</strong> | |||||
A deficiency of uric acid is a serious problem. Caffeine and uric acid are in | |||||
the group of chemicals called purines. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Purines (along with pyrimidines) are components of the nucleic acids, DNA and | |||||
RNA, but they have many other functions. In general, substances related to | |||||
purines are stimulants, and substances related to pyrimidines are sedatives. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
When the basic purine structure is oxidized, it becomes in turn hypoxanthine, | |||||
xanthine, and uric acid, by the addition of oxygen atoms. When methyl groups | |||||
(CH<sub>3</sub>) are added to nitrogens in the purine ring, the molecule | |||||
becomes less water soluble. Xanthine (an intermediate in purine metabolism) | |||||
has two oxygen atoms, and when three methyl groups are added, it becomes | |||||
trimethyl xanthine, or caffeine. With two methyl groups, it is theophylline, | |||||
which is named for its presence in tea. We have enzyme systems which can add | |||||
and subtract methyl groups<strong>;</strong> for example, when babies are | |||||
given theophylline, they can convert it into caffeine. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
We have enzymes that can modify all of the methyl groups and oxygen atoms of | |||||
caffeine and the other purine derivatives. Caffeine is usually excreted in a | |||||
modified form, for example as a methylated uric acid. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
One of the ways in which uric acid functions as an "antioxidant" is by | |||||
modifying the activity of the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which in stress can | |||||
become a dangerous source of free radicals. Caffeine also restrains this | |||||
enzyme. There are several other ways in which uric acid and caffeine (and a | |||||
variety of intermediate xanthines) protect against oxidative damage. Coffee | |||||
drinkers, for example, have been found to have lower levels of cadmium in | |||||
their kidneys than people who don"t use coffee, and coffee is known to inhibit | |||||
the absorption of iron by the intestine, helping to prevent iron overload. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Toxins and stressors often kill cells, for example in the brain, liver, and | |||||
immune system, by causing the cells to expend energy faster than it can be | |||||
replaced. There is an enzyme system that repairs genetic damage, called | |||||
"PARP." The activation of this enzyme is a major energy drain, and substances | |||||
that inhibit it can prevent the death of the cell. Niacin and caffeine can | |||||
inhibit this enzyme sufficiently to prevent this characteristic kind of cell | |||||
death, without preventing the normal cellular turnover<strong>;</strong> that | |||||
is, they don"t produce tumors by preventing the death of cells that aren"t | |||||
needed. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
The purines are important in a great variety of regulatory processes, and | |||||
caffeine fits into this complex system in other ways that are often protective | |||||
against stress. For example, it has been proposed that tea can protect against | |||||
circulatory disease by preventing abnormal clotting, and the mechanism seems | |||||
to be that caffeine (or theophylline) tends to restrain stress-induced | |||||
platelet aggregaton. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
When platelets clump, they release various factors that contribute to the | |||||
development of a clot. Serotonin is one of these, and is released by other | |||||
kinds of cell, including mast cells and basophils and nerve cells. Serotonin | |||||
produces vascular spasms and increased blood pressure, blood vessel leakiness | |||||
and inflammation, and the release of many other stress mediators. Caffeine, | |||||
besides inhibiting the platelet aggregation, also tends to inhibit the release | |||||
of serotonin, or to promote its uptake and binding. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
J. W. Davis, et al., 1996, found that high uric acid levels seem to protect | |||||
against the development of Parkinson"s disease. They ascribed this effect to | |||||
uric acid"s antioxidant function. Coffee drinking, which <em>lowers</em> uric | |||||
acid levels, nevertheless appeared to be much more strongly protective against | |||||
Parkinson"s disease than uric acid. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Possibly more important than coffee"s ability to protect the health is the way | |||||
it does it. The studies that have tried to gather evidence to show that coffee | |||||
is harmful, and found the opposite, have provided insight into several | |||||
diseases. For example, coffee"s effects on serotonin are very similar to | |||||
carbon dioxide"s, and the thyroid hormone"s. Noticing that coffee drinking is | |||||
associated with a low incidence of Parkinson"s disease could focus attention | |||||
on the ways that thyroid and carbon dioxide and serotonin, estrogen, mast | |||||
cells, histamine and blood clotting interact to produce nerve cell death. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Thinking about how caffeine can be beneficial across such a broad spectrum of | |||||
problems can give us a perspective on the similarities of their underlying | |||||
physiology and biochemistry, expanding the implications of stress, biological | |||||
energy, and adaptability. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
The observation that coffee drinkers have a low incidence of suicide, for | |||||
example, might be physiologically related to the large increase in suicide | |||||
rate among people who use the newer antidepressants called "serotonin reuptake | |||||
inhibitors." Serotonin excess causes several of the features of depression, | |||||
such as learned helplessness and reduced metabolic rate, while coffee | |||||
stimulates the <em>uptake</em> (inactivation or storage) of serotonin, | |||||
increases metabolic energy, and tends to improve mood. In animal studies, it | |||||
reverses the state of helplessness or despair, often more effectively than | |||||
so-called antidepressants. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
The research on caffeine"s effects on blood pressure, and on the use of fuel | |||||
by the more actively metabolizing cells, hasn"t clarified its effects on | |||||
respiration and nutrition, but some of these experiments confirm things that | |||||
coffee drinkers usually learn for themselves. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Often, a woman who thinks that she has symptoms of hypoglycemia says that | |||||
drinking even the smallest amount of coffee makes her anxious and shaky. | |||||
Sometimes, I have suggested that they try drinking about two ounces of coffee | |||||
with cream or milk along with a meal. It"s common for them to find that this | |||||
reduces their symptoms of hypoglycemia, and allows them to be symptom-free | |||||
between meals. Although we don"t know exactly why caffeine improves an | |||||
athlete"s endurance, I think the same processes are involved when coffee | |||||
increases a person"s "endurance" in ordinary activities. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Caffeine has remarkable parallels to thyroid and progesterone, and the use of | |||||
coffee or tea can help to maintain their production, or compensate for their | |||||
deficiency. Women spontaneously drink more coffee premenstrually, and since | |||||
caffeine is known to increase the concentration of progesterone in the blood | |||||
and in the brain, this is obviously a spontaneous and rational form of | |||||
self-medication, though medical editors like to see things causally reversed, | |||||
and blame the coffee drinking for the symptoms it is actually alleviating. | |||||
Some women have noticed that the effect of a progesterone supplement is | |||||
stronger when they take it with coffee. This is similar to the synergy between | |||||
thyroid and progesterone, which is probably involved, since caffeine tends to | |||||
<em>locally</em> activate thyroid secretion by a variety of mechanisms, | |||||
increasing cyclic AMP and decreasing serotonin in thyroid cells, for example, | |||||
and also by lowering the systemic stress mediators. | |||||
</p> | |||||
<p> | |||||
Medical editors like to publish articles that reinforce important prejudices, | |||||
even if, scientifically, they are trash. The momentum of a bad idea can | |||||
probably be measured by the tons of glossy paper that have gone into its | |||||
development. Just for the sake of the environment, it would be nice if editors | |||||
would try to think in terms of evidence and biological mechanisms, rather than | |||||
stereotypes. | |||||

perfectly normal, euthyroid by Barnes' standards. But I noticed that their pulse rates were, in several cases, | |||||
very low. It takes very little metabolic energy to keep the body at 98.6 degrees when the air temperature is in | |||||
the nineties. In cooler weather, I began asking people whether they used electric blankets, and ignored their | |||||
temperature measurements if they did.</span> | |||||

vielen Fällen sehr niedrig waren. Es wird sehr wenig metabolische Energie benötigt, um die Körpertemperatur bei | |||||
98,6° F (36,6° C) Grad beizubehalten, wenn die Außentemperatur bei über 90° F (Mitte 30° C) liegt. Bei kühlerem | |||||
Wetter begann ich, Leute zu fragen, ob sie Heizdecken benutzen, und, wenn dem so war, ignorierte ich ihre | |||||
Temperaturmessungen.</span> | |||||

<span lang="en" | |||||
>The combination of pulse rate and temperature is much better than either one alone. I happened to see two people | |||||
whose resting pulse rates were chronically extremely high, despite their hypothyroid symptoms. When they took a | |||||
thyroid supplement, their pulse rates came down to normal. (Healthy and intelligent groups of people have been | |||||
found to have an average resting pulse rate of 85/minute, while less healthy groups average close to | |||||
70/minute.)</span> | |||||
<span lang="de" | |||||

>The speed of the pulse is partly determined by adrenaline, and many hypothyroid people compensate with very high | |||||
adrenaline production. Knowing that hypothyroid people are susceptible to hypoglycemia, and that hypoglycemia | |||||
increases adrenaline, I found that many people had normal (and sometimes faster than average) pulse rates when | |||||
they woke up in the morning, and when they got hungry. Salt, which helps to maintain blood sugar, also tends to | |||||
lower adrenalin, and hypothyroid people often lose salt too easily in their urine and sweat. Measuring the pulse | |||||
rate before and after breakfast, and in the afternoon, can give a good impression of the variations in | |||||
adrenalin. (The blood pressure, too, will show the effects of adrenaline in hypothyroid people. Hypothyroidism | |||||
is a major cause of hypertension.)</span> | |||||
<span lang="de" | |||||
>Die Pulsrate wird teilweise durch Adrenalin bestimmt, und viele Menschen kompensieren ihre | |||||
Schilddrüsenunterfunktion mit einer hohen Adrenalinproduktion. Angesichts dessen, dass mehrere hypothyreote | |||||
Menschen zu Unterzuckerung tendieren, und dass eine Unterzuckerung Adrenalin steigert, merkte ich, dass viele | |||||
Leute einen normalen (und manchmal überdurchschnittlich schnellen) Puls hatten, sowohl in der Früh als auch wenn | |||||
sie Hunger bekamen. Salz, welches zum Erhalt eines normalen Blutzuckerspiegels beiträgt, senkt tendenziell auch | |||||
Adrenalin, und hypothyreote Menschen verlieren Salz sehr schnell im Urin und im Schweiß. Um einen besseren | |||||
Eindruck der Variation im Adrenalinspiegel zu bekommen, kann man den Puls vor und nach dem Frühstück sowie am | |||||
Nachmittag messen. (Der Blutdruck zeigt zudem auch die Wirkung von Adrenalin in Menschen mit einer | |||||
Schilddrüsenunterfunktion. Eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion ist eine häufige Ursache des Bluthochdrucks.)</span> | |||||

<p> | |||||
<span lang="en" | |||||
>But hypoglycemia also tends to decrease the conversion of T4 to T3, so heat production often decreases when a | |||||
person is hungry. First, their fingers, toes, and nose will get cold, because adrenalin, or adrenergic | |||||
sympathetic nervous activity, will increase to keep the brain and heart at a normal temperature, by reducing | |||||
circulation to the skin and extremities. Despite the temperature-regulating effect of adrenalin, the reduced | |||||
heat production resulting from decreased T3 will make a person susceptible to hypothermia if the environment is | |||||
cool.</span> | |||||

weil Adrenalin bzw. die adrenergische Aktivität des Sympathikus steigt, um die Temperatur des Gehirns und des | |||||
Herzes normal zu halten, indem die Durchblutung der Haut und der Extremitäten gesenkt wird. Trotz der | |||||

a person goes to bed, and in hypothyroid people, they rise very high, with the adrenalin usually peaking around | |||||
1 or 2 A.M., and the cortisol peaking around dawn; the high cortisol raises blood sugar as morning approaches, | |||||

steigen. Bei Menschen mit einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion steigen sie sehr hoch - das Adrenalin erreicht um | |||||
ungefähr ein oder zwei Uhr seinen Höhepunkt und Cortisol ungefähr bei der Dämmerung. Das hohe Cortisol steigert | |||||
den Blutzuckerspiegel, wenn der Morgen naht. Manche Leute wachen bei dem Adrenalinhöhepunkt mit starkem | |||||

>By watching the temperature and pulse rate at different times of day, especially before and after meals, it's | |||||
possible to separate some of the effects of stress from the thyroid-dependent, relatively “basal” metabolic | |||||
rate. When beginning to take a thyroid supplement, it's important to keep a chart of these measurements for at | |||||
least two weeks, since that's roughly the half-life of thyroxine in the body. When the body has accumulated a | |||||
steady level of the hormones, and begun to function more fully, the factors such as adrenaline that have been | |||||
chronically distorted to compensate for hypothyroidism will have begun to normalize, and the early effects of | |||||
the supplementary thyroid will in many cases seem to disappear, with heart rate and temperature declining. The | |||||
daily dose of thyroid often has to be increased several times, as the state of stress and the adrenaline and | |||||

laboratory concept, and the biological activity of T3 doesn't necessarily correspond to its “freedom” in the | |||||
test. T3 bound to its transport proteins can be demonstrated to enter cells, mitochondria, and nuclei. | |||||

evaluating thyroid function.</span> | |||||

Laktat im Blut ist also ein nützlicher Test, um die Schilddrüsenfunktion zu kontrollieren. Cholesterin wird | |||||
relativ rapide unter Einfluss von T3 verstoffwechselt und schon seit den 1930er Jahren ist es klar, dass das | |||||
Serumcholesterin bei einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion steigt, und das kann eine gute diagnostische Aussagekraft | |||||
haben. Natrium, Magnesium, Kalzium, Albumin, Glukose und andere Serumkomponenten werden durch die | |||||

stereotypes. (And if those tests were in the healthy range, the person would be at risk for the “hyperthyroid” | |||||
diagnosis.) But remembering some of the common adaptive reactions to a thyroid deficiency, the catabolic effects | |||||
of high cortisol and the circulatory disturbance caused by high adrenaline should lead to doing some of the | |||||
appropriate tests, instead of treating the person's hypertension and “under nourished” condition.</span> | |||||

sehr unwahrscheinlich in Betracht gezogen; selbst ein hoher TSH-Wert und sehr niedrige T4- und T3-Werte werden | |||||
wohl aufgrund der Stereotypen ignoriert. (Und falls diese Tests im gesunden Bereich liegen, besteht dann das | |||||
Risiko der Diagnose einer Schilddrüsen<strong>über</strong>funktion.) Aber wenn man sich an einige der häufigen | |||||
adaptiven Reaktionen auf eine schwache Schilddrüse erinnert, sollten die katabolischen Effekte eines hohen | |||||
Cortisol-Spiegels und der adrenalin-bedingten Kreislaufstörungen dazu führen, einige der angemessenen Tests | |||||

# TSH, Temperatur, Puls, und andere Indikatoren bei einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion | |||||
- Each of the indicators of thyroid function can be useful, but has to be interpreted in relation to the physiological | |||||
state. | |||||
- Jeder einzelne der Indikatoren der Schilddrüsenfunktion kann zwar nützlich sein, aber sie müssen in Zusammenhang mit | |||||
dem gesamten physiologischen Grundzustand betrachtet werden. | |||||
- Increasingly, TSH (the pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone) has been treated as if it meant something independently; | |||||
however, it can be brought down into the normal range, or lower, by substances other than the thyroid hormones. | |||||
- TSH (oder Thyreotropin, das Thyreoidea-stimulierendes oder Schilddrüsen-stimulierendes Hormon der Hypophyse) wird | |||||
zunehmend so behandelt, als hätte es isoliert etwas zu bedeuten; allerdings kann es durch andere Substanzen als die | |||||
Schilddrüsenhormone bis in den normalen Bereich oder gar tiefer gesenkt werden. | |||||
- “Basal” body temperature is influenced by many things besides thyroid. The resting heart rate helps to interpret the | |||||
temperature. In a cool environment, the temperature of the extremities is sometimes a better indicator than the oral | |||||
or eardrum temperature. | |||||
- Es sind nämlich nicht nur die Schilddrüsenhormone, die die „basale“ Körpertemperatur beeinflussen können. Der Ruhepuls | |||||
kann z.B. als Hilfsmittel dienen, die Temperatur zu interpretieren. In einer kühlen Umgebung ist die Temperatur der | |||||
Extremitäten ein besserer Indikator als die Oral- oder Trommelfelltemperatur. | |||||
- The “basal” metabolic rate, especially if the rate of carbon dioxide production is measured, is very useful. The | |||||
amount of water and calories disposed of in a day can give a rough idea of the metabolic rate. | |||||
- Der „basale“ Grundumsatz ist vor allem dann sehr nützlich, wenn die Produktionsrate von CO2 mitgemessen wird. Die | |||||
Menge an Wasser und Kalorien, die im Laufe eines Tages verwertet werden, können als grobe Richtwerte für den | |||||
Grundumsatz dienen. | |||||
- The T wave on the electrocardiogram, and the relaxation rate on the Achilles reflex test are useful. | |||||
- Sowohl die T-Welle eines Elektrokardiogramms als auch die Entspannungszeit beim Achillessehnenreflex-Test sind | |||||
nützlich. | |||||
- Blood tests for cholesterol, albumin, glucose, sodium, lactate, total thyroxine and total T3 are useful to know, | |||||
because they help to evaluate the present thyroid status, and sometimes they can suggest ways to correct the problem. | |||||
- Es kann zudem sinnvoll sein, die Blutwerte von Cholesterin, Albumin, Glukose, Natrium, Laktat, Gesamt-Thyroxin, sowie | |||||
Gesamt-T3 zu wissen, weil sie eine Evaluierung der aktuellen Funktionsstärke der Schilddrüse ermöglichen und zudem oft | |||||
Hinweise geben, wie sich das Problem behandeln ließe. | |||||
- Less common blood or urine tests (adrenaline, cortisol, ammonium, free fatty acids), if they are available, can help | |||||
to understand compensatory reactions to hypothyroidism. | |||||
- Seltenere Blut- bzw. Urinproben (Adrenalin, Cortisol, Ammoniak, freie Fettsäuren), falls sie zur Verfügung stehen, | |||||
können dem besseren Verständnis der Kompensierungsreaktionen einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion dienen. | |||||
- A book such as McGavack's The Thyroid, that provides traditional medical knowledge about thyroid physiology, can help | |||||
to dispel some of the current dogmas about the thyroid. | |||||
- Bücher wie „The Thyroid“ von McGavack, die traditionelles medizinisches Wissen über Schilddrüsenphysiologie liefern, | |||||
können helfen, einige der aktuellen Dogmata über die Schilddrüse aufzulösen. | |||||
- Using more physiologically relevant methods to diagnose hypothyroidism will contribute to understanding its role in | |||||
many problems now considered to be unrelated to the thyroid. | |||||
- Die Benutzung physiologisch relevanter Methoden, eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion zu diagnostizieren, trägt dazu bei, | |||||
deren Rolle bei diversen Problemen zu verstehen, bei denen mittlerweile ein Zusammenhang mit der Schilddrüse | |||||
ausgeschlossen wird. | |||||

- I have spoken to several people who told me that their doctors had diagnosed them as “both hypothyroid and | |||||
hyperthyroid.” Although physicists can believe in things which are simultaneously both particles and not particles, I | |||||
think biology (and medicine, as far as it is biologically based) should occupy a world in which things are not | |||||
simultaneously themselves and their opposites. Those illogical, impossible diagnoses make it clear that the rules for | |||||
interpreting test results have in some situations lost touch with reality. | |||||
- Ich sprach mit vielen Leuten, die mir erzählten, dass ihre Ärzte bei ihnen „gleichzeitig eine Schilddrüsenüber- sowie | |||||
-unterfunktion“ diagnostiziert hatten. Obwohl Physiker in der Lage sind, an Dinge zu glauben, die gleichzeitig sowohl | |||||
Partikeln als auch keine Partikeln sind, denke ich, dass die Biologie (und die Medizin, sofern sie auf der Biologie | |||||
beruht) eine Welt bewohnen sollten, in der Sachen nicht simultan sie selbst und ihre Gegenteile sind. Diese | |||||
unlogischen, unmöglichen Diagnosen zeigen auf, dass die Regeln zur Interpretierung von Testergebnissen in manchen | |||||
Fällen sämtlichen Bezug zur Realität verloren haben. | |||||
- Until the 1940s, hypothyroidism was diagnosed on the basis of signs and symptoms, and sometimes the measurement of | |||||
oxygen consumption (“basal metabolic rate”) was used for confirmation. Besides the introduction of supposedly | |||||
“scientific” blood tests, such as the measurement of protein-bound iodine (PBI) in the blood, there were other motives | |||||
for becoming parsimonious with the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. With the introduction of synthetic thyroxine, one of | |||||
the arguments for increasing its sale was that natural Armour thyroid (which was precisely standardized by biological | |||||
tests) wasn't properly standardized, and that an overdose could be fatal. A few articles in prestigious journals | |||||
created a myth of the danger of thyroid, and the synthetic thyroxine was (falsely) said to be precisely standardized, | |||||
and to be without the dangers of the complete glandular extract. | |||||
- Bis in die 1940er Jahre wurde eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion auf Basis von Anzeichen und Symptomen festgestellt und | |||||
manchmal wurde auch der Sauerstoffkonsum („basaler Grundumsatz“) zur Bestätigung gemessen. Abgesehen von der | |||||
Einführung scheinbar „wissenschaftlicher“ Bluttests, wie z.B. der Messung des proteingebundenen Jods im Blut, gab es | |||||
weitere Motive, eher zurückhaltend mit der Diagnose einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion zu werden. Mit der Einführung | |||||
einer synthetischen Form von Thyroxin war eins der Argumente, die Verkaufszahlen zu steigern, dass natürliches | |||||
Armour-Schilddrüsenhormon (welches präzise mittels biologischer Tests standardisiert wurde) eben nicht sauber | |||||
standardisiert war, und dass eine Überdosis fatal sein könnte. Einige Artikel, die in namhaften Ärzteblättern | |||||
erschienen, schufen den Mythos der Gefahr von Schilddrüsenhormon und synthetisches Thyroxin wurde (fälschlicherweise) | |||||
als präzise standardisiert beschrieben, sowie frei von jeglichen Gefahren, die mit dem Drüsenextrakt verbunden seien. | |||||
- Between 1940 and about 1950, the estimated percentage of hypothyroid Americans went from 30% or 40% to 5%, on the | |||||
basis of the PBI test, and it has stayed close to that lower number (many publications claim it to be only 1% or 2%). | |||||
By the time that the measurement of PBI was shown to be only vaguely related to thyroid hormonal function, it had been | |||||
in use long enough for a new generation of physicians to be taught to disregard the older ideas about diagnosing and | |||||
treating hypothyroidism. They were taught to inform their patients that the traditional symptoms that were identified | |||||
as hypothyroidism before 1950 were the result of the patients' own behavior (sloth and gluttony, for example, which | |||||
produced fatigue, obesity, and heart disease), or that the problems were imaginary (women's hormonal and neurological | |||||
problems, especially), or that they were simply mysterious diseases and defects (recurring infections, arthritis, and | |||||
cancer, for example). | |||||
- Zwischen 1940 und 1950 sank das geschätzte Vorkommen hypothyreoter US-Amerikaner auf Basis des PBI-Tests | |||||
(proteingebundener Jod) von 30 bis 40 % auf 5 % und blieb bislang in diesem niedrigeren Bereich. (Manche Publikationen | |||||
behaupten, es betreffe nur 1 bis 2 %.) Bis es gezeigt wurde, dass die Bestimmung der PBI-Konzentration im Blut nur | |||||
einen geringen Zusammenhang mit der Schilddrüsenfunktion hatte, war es schon ausreichend lange in Verwendung, dass | |||||
einer neuen Generation von Medizinern beigebracht werden konnte, ältere Ideen zur Diagnostik und Behandlung einer | |||||
Schilddrüsenunterfunktion schlichtweg nicht mehr zu beachten. Es wurde ihnen beigebracht, ihre Patienten zu | |||||
informieren, dass die traditionellen Symptome, die vor 1950 als Erscheinungen einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion erkannt | |||||
worden wären, ihre Ursache in der Lebensweise der Patienten selber hätten (Faulheit und Völlerei führten | |||||
beispielsweise zu Trägheit, Fettleibigkeit, und Herzkreislauferkrankungen), oder dass sie ihre Probleme nur einbilden | |||||
würden (insbesondere die hormonellen und neurologischen Probleme von Frauen), oder dass diese Probleme bloß mysteriöse | |||||
Krankheiten und Defekte wären (wiederkehrende Infekte, Arthrose, und Krebs, zum Beispiel). | |||||
- As the newer, more direct tests became available, their meaning was defined in terms of the statistical expectation of | |||||
hypothyroidism that had become an integral part of medical culture. To make the new TSH measurements fit the medical | |||||
doctrine, an 8- or 10-fold variation in the hormone was defined as “normal.” With any other biological measurement, | |||||
such as erythrocyte count, blood pressure, body weight, or serum sodium, calcium, chloride, or glucose, a variation of | |||||
ten or 20 percent from the mean is considered to be meaningful. If the doctrine regarding the 5% prevalence of | |||||
hypothyroidism hadn't been so firmly established, there would have been more interest in establishing the meaning of | |||||
these great variations in TSH. | |||||
- Die zunehmende Verfügbarkeit neuerer, direkterer Tests hat dazu geführt, dass deren Bedeutung anhand statistischer | |||||
Erwartungen einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion festgelegt wurde, die sich in der medizinischen Kultur schon fest | |||||
etabliert hatte. Um die neuen TSH-Messwerte an die medizinische Lehrmeinung anzupassen, wurde eine acht- bis zehnfache | |||||
Abweichung des Hormons als „normal“ definiert. Bei sämtlichen anderen biologischen Messungen, wie z.B. Erythrozyten, | |||||
Blutdruck, Körpergewicht, oder Serumnatrium, -kalzium, -chlor, oder -glukose, wird eine Abweichung von mehr als 20 | |||||
Prozent vom Mittelwert als aussagekräftig betrachtet. Wenn sich die Lehrmeinung bezüglich des 5 %-igen Vorkommens von | |||||
Schilddrüsenunterfunktion nicht so fest etabliert hätte, hätte es mehr Interesse gegeben, die Bedeutung dieser großen | |||||
Abweichungen des TSH-Werts zu klären. | |||||
- In recent years the “normal range” for TSH has been decreasing. In 2003, the American Association of Clinical | |||||
Endocrinologists changed their guidelines for the normal range to 0.3 to 3.0 microIU/ml. But even though this lower | |||||
range is less arbitrary than the older standards, it still isn't based on an understanding of the physiological | |||||
meaning of TSH. | |||||
- Seit einigen Jahren nehmen die Grenzwerte des normalen TSH-Bereichs ab. Die American Association of Clinical | |||||
Endocrinologists hat 2003 ihre Richtlinien des normalen Bereichs auf 0,3 bis 3,0 microUI/mL angepasst. Obwohl dieser | |||||
niedrigere Bereich weniger willkürlich wirkt als ältere Standards, basiert es trotzdem nicht auf einem Verständnis der | |||||
physiologischen Bedeutung von Thyreotropin. | |||||
- Over a period of several years, I never saw a person whose TSH was over 2 microIU/ml who was comfortably healthy, and | |||||
I formed the impression that the normal, or healthy, quantity was probably something less than 1.0. | |||||
- Über mehrere Jahre sah ich noch nie jemanden, die einen Thyreotropin-Wert über 2 microIU/mL hatte, die sich angenehm | |||||
gesund fühlte, und ich bildete die Meinung, dass die normale bzw. gesunde Quantität wahrscheinlich eher einen Wert | |||||
unter 1,0 beträgt. | |||||
- If a pathologically high TSH is defined as normal, its role in major diseases, such as breast cancer, mastalgia, MS, | |||||
fibrotic diseases, and epilepsy, will simply be ignored. Even if the possibility is considered, the use of an | |||||
irrational norm, instead of a proper comparison, such as the statistical difference between the mean TSH levels of | |||||
cases and controls, leads to denial of an association between hypothyroidism and important diseases, despite evidence | |||||
that indicates an association. | |||||
- Wenn ein pathologisch hoher Thyreotropin-Wert als normal definiert wird, wird die Rolle, die er bei wichtigen | |||||
Krankheiten spielt, wie z.B. Brustkrebs, Mastodynie (auch „Mastalgie“), multipler Sklerose, fibrotischen Krankheiten | |||||
und Epilepsie, schlichtweg ignoriert. Selbst wenn das für möglich gehalten wird, führt die Anwendung einer | |||||
irrationalen Norm (anstatt eines zweckmäßigen Vergleichs, wie bspw. des statistischen Abstands des TSH-Mittelwerts | |||||
unter Fällen und Kontrollen) dazu, dass trotz Beweisen des Gegenteils geleugnet wird, dass ein Zusammenhang zwischen | |||||
einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion und wichtigen Krankheiten besteht. | |||||
- Some critics have said that most physicians are “treating the TSH,” rather than the patient. If TSH is itself | |||||
pathogenic, because of its pro-inflammatory actions, then that approach isn't entirely useless, even when they “treat | |||||
the TSH” with only thyroxine, which often isn't well converted into the active triiodothyronine, T3. But the relief of | |||||
a few symptoms in a small percentage of the population is serving to blind the medical world to the real possibilities | |||||
of thyroid therapy. | |||||
- Einige Kritiker haben gesagt, dass die meisten Mediziner nur „den TSH-Wert behandeln“ statt den Patienten. Insofern | |||||
TSH aufgrund seiner entzündungsfördernden Eigenschaften an und für sich pathogen ist, ist dieser Ansatz nicht | |||||
vollkommen unbrauchbar, selbst wenn „der TSH-Wert behandelt wird“. Aber behandelt wird er meist nur mit Thyroxin (T4), | |||||
welches oft nicht sehr gut in seine aktive Form, Trijodthyronin (T3), verstoffwechselt werden kann, und die | |||||
erfolgreiche Linderung einiger Symptome in einem Bruchteil der Bevölkerung sorgt dafür, dass die Welt der Medizin | |||||
blind für die wahren Möglichkeiten der Schilddrüsenhormon-Therapie bleibt. | |||||
- TSH has direct actions on many cell types other than the thyroid, and probably contributes directly to edema (Wheatley | |||||
and Edwards, 1983), fibrosis, and mastocytosis. If people are concerned about the effects of a TSH “deficiency,” then | |||||
I think they have to explain the remarkable longevity of the animals lacking pituitaries in W.D. Denckla's | |||||
experiments, or of the naturally pituitary deficient dwarf mice that lack TSH, prolactin, and growth hormone, but live | |||||
about a year longer than normal mice (Heiman, et al., 2003). Until there is evidence that very low TSH is somehow | |||||
harmful, there is no basis for setting a lower limit to the normal range. | |||||
- TSH hat unmittelbare Auswirkungen auf mehrere Zelltypen und nicht nur auf das Schilddrüsengewebe. Es trägt | |||||
wahrscheinlich direkt zu Ödem bei (Wheatley und Edwards, 1983), sowie Fibrose und Mastozytose. Wer sich Sorgen um die | |||||
Folgen eines Thyreotropin-„Mangels“ macht, der soll meiner Meinung nach die außergewöhnliche Langlebigkeit von Tieren | |||||
erklären, die zwar natürlicherweise über keine Hypophyse und entsprechend weder TSH, noch Prolaktin, noch | |||||
Wachstumshormon verfügen, die aber fast ein Jahr länger als normale Mäuse leben (Heim, et al., 2003). Bis Beweise | |||||
dafür vorliegen, dass ein sehr niedriger TSH-Wert irgendwie als gesundheitsgefährdend gelten soll, gibt es bislang | |||||
keine Basis dafür, einen unteren Grenzwert festzulegen. | |||||
- Some types of thyroid cancer can usually be controlled by keeping TSH completely suppressed. Since TSH produces | |||||
reactions in cells as different as fibroblasts and fat cells, pigment cells in the skin, mast cells and bone marrow | |||||
cells (Whetsell, et al., 1999), it won't be surprising if it turns out to have a role in the development of a variety | |||||
of cancers, including melanoma. | |||||
- Einige Arten von Schilddrüsenkrebs können normalerweise unter Kontrolle gehalten werden, indem man TSH komplett | |||||
unterdrückt. Da TSH einige Reaktionen in verschiedenen Zelltypen hervorruft, von Fibroblasten und Fettzellen, über | |||||
Mastzellen und Pigmentzellen in der Haut bis hin zu Knochenmarkzellen (Whetsell, et al., 1999), sollte es keine | |||||
Überraschung sein, wenn sich herausstellen sollte, dass es doch eine Rolle bei der Entwicklung einer Vielzahl von | |||||
Krebsarten spielt, darunter Melanom. | |||||
- Many things, including the liver and the senses, regulate the function of the thyroid system, and the pituitary is | |||||
just one of the factors affecting the synthesis and secretion of the thyroid hormones. | |||||
- Die Funktion des Schilddrüsen-Systems wird von mehreren Sachen reguliert, darunter auch die Leber und die Sinne, und | |||||
die Hypophyse ist nur einer der Faktoren, die die Synthese und Ausschüttung der Schilddrüsenhormone beeinflussen. | |||||
- A few people who had extremely low levels of pituitary hormones, and were told that they must take several hormone | |||||
supplements for the rest of their life, began producing normal amounts of those hormones within a few days of eating | |||||
more protein and fruit. Their endocrinologist described them as, effectively, having no pituitary gland. Extreme | |||||
malnutrition in Africa has been described as creating “. . . a condition resembling hypophysectomy,” (Ingenbleek and | |||||
Beckers, 1975) but the people I talked to in Oregon were just following what they thought were healthful nutritional | |||||
policies, avoiding eggs and sugars, and eating soy products. | |||||
- Einige Leute, die extrem niedrige Spiegel der Hormone der Hypophyse hatten, denen erzählt wurde, dass sie mehrere | |||||
Hormonpräparate für den Rest ihres Lebens nehmen müssten, begannen mehr dieser Hormone spontan herzustellen, nachdem | |||||
sie einige Tage lang mehr Obst und Eiweiß zu sich nahmen. Die Diagnose ihrer Endokrinologen war, dass sie effektiv | |||||
über keine Hypophyse verfügten. Extreme Mangelernährung in Afrika wurde so beschrieben, dass sie „... eine Krankheit | |||||
verursachte, die einer Hypophysektomie ähnelt,“ (Ingenbleek und Beckers, 1975) aber die Personen, mit denen ich in | |||||
Oregon sprach, praktizierten bloß das, was sie für eine „gesunde Ernährung“ hielten, d.h. die Vermeidung von Eiern und | |||||
Zucker, und den Verzehr von Sojaprodukten. | |||||
- Occasionally, a small supplement of thyroid in addition to a good diet is needed to quickly escape from the | |||||
stress-induced “hypophysectomized” condition. | |||||
- Gelegentlich reicht eine kleine Zufuhr von Schilddrüsenhormon zusammen mit einer guten Ernährung, um schnell aus dem | |||||
durch Stress verursachten „Hypophysektomie“-Zustand zu entkommen. | |||||
- Aging, infection, trauma, prolonged cortisol excess, somatostatin, dopamine or L-dopa, adrenaline (sometimes; | |||||
Mannisto, et al., 1979), amphetamine, caffeine and fever can lower TSH, apart from the effect of feedback by the | |||||
thyroid hormones, creating a situation in which TSH can appear normal or low, at the same time that there is a real | |||||
hypothyroidism. | |||||
- Außer der Rückkopplungswirkung der Schilddrüsenhormone können das Altwerden, eine Infektion, Trauma, ein lang | |||||
anhaltender Cortisol-Überschuss, Somatostatin, Dopamin oder L-dopa, Adrenalin (nur manchmal; Mannisto, et al., 1979), | |||||
Amphetamin, Koffein und Fieber den Thyreotropin-Spiegel senken, was dafür sorgt, dass Thyreotropin normal oder niedrig | |||||
wirkt, wenn aber eine echte Schilddrüsenunterfunktion vorliegt. | |||||
- A disease or its treatment can obscure the presence of hypothyroidism. Parkinson's disease is a clear example of this. | |||||
(Garcia-Moreno and Chacon, 2002: “... in the same way hypothyroidism can simulate Parkinson's disease, the latter can | |||||
also conceal hypothyroidism.”) | |||||
- Eine Krankheit oder deren Behandlung kann das Vorliegen einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion verbergen. Hiervon ist | |||||
Parkinson ein klares Beispiel. (Garcia-Moreno und Chacon, 2002: „... wie eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion Parkinson | |||||
simulieren kann, so kann letzteres auch eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion verbergen.“) | |||||
- The stress-induced suppression of TSH and other pituitary hormones is reminiscent of the protective inhibition that | |||||
occurs in individual nerve fibers during dangerously intense stress, and might involve such a “parabiotic” process in | |||||
the nerves of the hypothalamus or other brain region. The relative disappearance of the pituitary hormones when the | |||||
organism is in very good condition (for example, the suppression of ACTH and cortisol by sugar or pregnenolone) is | |||||
parallel to the high energy quiescence of individual nerve fibers. | |||||
- Die durch Stress ausgelöste Unterdrückung von Thyreotropin und anderen Hormonen erinnert an die schützende Hemmung, | |||||
die bei intensivem Stress gefährlichen Ausmaßes in individuellen Nervenfasern eintritt, und mag vielleicht mit einem | |||||
„parabiotischen“ Prozess in den Nerven des Hypothalamus oder einer anderen Hirnregion einhergehen. Dass die Hormone | |||||
der Hypophyse mehr oder weniger verschwinden, wenn sich der Organismus in einem sehr gesunden Zustand befindet (z.B. | |||||
die Unterdrückung von ACTH und Cortisol durch Zucker oder Pregnenolon), ähnelt der hochenergetischen Stilllegung | |||||
individueller Nervenfasern. | |||||
- These associations between energy state and cellular activity can be used for evaluating the thyroid state, as in | |||||
measuring nerve and muscle reaction times and relaxation rates. For example, relaxation which is retarded, because of | |||||
slow restoration of the energy needed for cellular “repolarization,” is the basis for the traditional use of the | |||||
Achilles tendon reflex relaxation test for diagnosing hypothyroidism. The speed of relaxation of the heart muscle also | |||||
indicates thyroid status (Mohr-Kahaly, et al., 1996). | |||||
- Diese Zusammenhänge zwischen dem energetischen Zustand der Zelle und deren Aktivität können benutzt werden, um die | |||||
Schilddrüsenfunktion zu evaluieren. Hierzu dienen die Reaktionszeiten sowie Entspannungszeiten der Muskeln und Nerven. | |||||
Eine verzögerte Entspannung, die aufgrund einer langsamen Wiederherstellung der für die „Repolarisierung“ benötigten | |||||
zellulären Energie zustande kommt, schafft die Basis der traditionellen Anwendung des Achillessehnenreflex-Tests zur | |||||
Diagnose einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion. | |||||
- Stress, besides suppressing the TSH, acts in other ways to suppress the real thyroid function. Cortisol, for example, | |||||
inhibits the conversion of T4 to T3, which is responsible for the respiratory production of energy and carbon dioxide. | |||||
Adrenaline, besides leading to increased production of cortisol, is lipolytic, releasing the fatty acids which, if | |||||
they are polyunsaturated, inhibit the production and transport of thyroid hormone, and also interfere directly with | |||||
the respiratory functions of the mitochondria. Adrenaline decreases the conversion to T4 to T3, and increases the | |||||
formation of the antagonistic reverse T3 (Nauman, et al., 1980, 1984). | |||||
- Stress kann über deren Unterdrückung des TSH-Werts hinaus auf mehrere Arten und Weisen die effektive | |||||
Schilddrüsenfunktion unterdrücken. Cortisol hemmt zum Beispiel die Konvertierung von T4 in T3, welches für die | |||||
respiratorische Herstellung von Energie und Kohlenstoffdioxid verantwortlich ist. Adrenalin hat abgesehen von seiner | |||||
Erhöhung des Cortisol-Spiegels eine lipolytische Wirkung, was zur Freisetzung von Fettsäuren führt, und, falls die | |||||
mehrfach ungesättigt sind, hemmen sie wiederum auch die Herstellung und das Transport der Schilddrüsenhormone. Sie | |||||
stören zudem direkt die respiratorische Funktion der Mitochondrien. Adrenalin senkt die Konvertierung von T4 in T3, | |||||
und erhöht die Bildung des antagonistischen Hormons Reverse-T3 (Nauman, et al., 1980, 1984). | |||||
- During the night, at the time adrenaline and free fatty acids are at their highest, TSH usually reaches its peak. TSH | |||||
itself can produce lipolysis, raising the level of circulating free fatty acids. This suggests that a high level of | |||||
TSH could sometimes contribute to functional hypothyroidism, because of the antimetabolic effects of the unsaturated | |||||
fatty acids. | |||||
- Adrenalin und freie Fettsäuren erreichen nachts ihren Höhepunkt. TSH erreicht hier auch meistens seinen höchsten Wert. | |||||
Es kann auch TSH selbst Lipolyse bewirken, was den Spiegel der zirkulierenden freien Fettsäuren erhöht. Dies weist | |||||
darauf hin, dass ein hoher TSH-Wert manchmal aufgrund der antimetabolischen Wirkung der mehrfach ungesättigten | |||||
Fettsäuren zu einer funktionalen Schilddrüsenunterfunktion führen könnte | |||||
- These are the basic reasons for thinking that the TSH tests should be given only moderate weight in interpreting | |||||
thyroid function. | |||||
- Das sind also die wesentlichen Gründe zu denken, dass die TSH-Tests nur bedingt zur Interpretierung der | |||||
Schilddrüsenfunktion beitragen sollten. | |||||
- The metabolic rate is very closely related to thyroid hormone function, but defining it and measuring it have to be | |||||
done with awareness of its complexity. | |||||
- Der Grundumsatz steht in sehr engem Zusammenhang mit der Funktion der Schilddrüsenhormone, aber sie ist schließlich in | |||||
Anbetracht ihrer Komplexität zu definieren und messen. | |||||
- The basal metabolic rate that was commonly used in the 1930s for diagnosing thyroid disorders was usually a | |||||
measurement of the rate of oxygen consumption, made while lying quietly early in the morning without having eaten | |||||
anything for several hours. When carbon dioxide production can be measured at the same time as oxygen consumption, | |||||
it's possible to estimate the proportion of energy that is being derived from glucose, rather than fat or protein, | |||||
since oxidation of glucose produces more carbon dioxide than oxidation of fat does. Glucose oxidation is efficient, | |||||
and suggests a state of low stress. | |||||
- Der basale Grundumsatz, die häufig in den 1930er Jahren zur Diagnose einer Schilddrüsenstörung verwendet wurde, war | |||||
normalerweise eine Messung der Sauerstoffkonsumrate, die durchgeführt wurde, während der Patient morgens still im Bett | |||||
im gefasteten Zustand lag. Eine gleichzeitige Messung der Kohlenstoffdioxidproduktion sowie des Sauerstoffkonsums | |||||
ermöglicht es, den Anteil der Energie zu schätzen, der durch Glukose statt Fett oder Eiweiß gewonnen wird, da die | |||||
Oxidierung von Glukose mehr Kohlenstoffdioxid gewinnt als von Fett. Die Oxidierung von Glukose ist effizient und weist | |||||
auf einen niedrigen Stresszustand hin. | |||||
- The very high adrenaline that sometimes occurs in hypothyroidism will increase the metabolic rate in several ways, but | |||||
it tends to increase the oxidation of fat. If the production of carbon dioxide is measured, the adrenaline/stress | |||||
component of metabolism will be minimized in the measurement. When polyunsaturated fats are mobilized, their | |||||
spontaneous peroxidation consumes some oxygen, without producing any usable energy or carbon dioxide, so this is | |||||
another reason that the production of carbon dioxide is a very good indicator of thyroid hormone activity. The | |||||
measurement of oxygen consumption was usually done for two minutes, and carbon dioxide production could be accurately | |||||
measured in a similarly short time. Even a measurement of the percentage of carbon dioxide at the end of a single | |||||
breath can give an indication of the stress-free, thyroid hormone stimulated rate of metabolism (it should approach | |||||
five or six percent of the expired air). | |||||
- Der sehr hohe Adrenalinspiegel, der manchmal mit einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion einhergeht, erhöht auf verschiedene | |||||
Art und Weise den Grundumsatz, aber es begünstigt eher Fettoxidierung. Wenn die Produktion von Kohlenstoffdioxid | |||||
gemessen wird, wird die Adrenalin- bzw. Stress-Komponente des Stoffwechsels in der Messung minimiert. Wenn mehrfach | |||||
ungesättigte Fettsäuren freigesetzt werden, konsumiert deren spontane Peroxidierung etwas Sauerstoff, und produziert | |||||
dabei weder verwendbare Energie noch Kohlenstoffdioxid. Das ist also noch ein weiterer Grund, dass die Produktion von | |||||
Kohlenstoffdioxid ein sehr geeigneter Indikator der Aktivität der Schilddrüsenhormone ist. Die Messung des | |||||
Sauerstoffkonsums wurde meistens zwei Minuten lang durchgeführt, und die Kohlenstoffdioxidproduktion konnte ähnlich | |||||
schnell durchgeführt werden. Selbst die Messung des Anteils von Kohlenstoffdioxid nach einem einzigen Atemzug kann auf | |||||
die stressfreie, durch Schilddrüsenhormon stimulierte Stoffwechselrate hinweisen (dies soll fünf oder sechs Prozent | |||||
der ausgeatmeten Luft betragen). | |||||
- Increasingly in the last several years, people who have many of the standard symptoms of hypothyroidism have told me | |||||
that they are hyperthyroid, and that they have to decide whether to have surgery or radiation to destroy their thyroid | |||||
gland. They have told me that their symptoms of “hyperthyroidism,” according to their physicians, were fatigue, | |||||
weakness, irritability, poor memory, and insomnia. | |||||
- Es haben mir in den letzten Jahren zunehmend mehr Leute erzählt, die mehrere der klassischen Symptome einer | |||||
Schilddrüsenunterfunktion hatten, dass sie eine Überfunktion hätten, und dass sie zwischen Bestrahlung und einer | |||||
Operation entscheiden mussten, um ihre Schilddrüse zu zerstören. Sie erzählten mir, dass die Symptome ihrer | |||||
Schilddrüsen*über*funktion laut ihren Ärzten Müdigkeit, Schwäche, Reizbarkeit, Gedächtnisprobleme und Schlaflosigkeit | |||||
wären. | |||||
- They didn't eat very much. They didn't sweat noticeably, and they drank a moderate amount of fluids. Their pulse rates | |||||
and body temperature were normal, or a little low. | |||||
- Sie aßen nicht viel. Viel schwitzten sie auch nicht und sie tranken mäßig Flüssigkeit. Ihre Puls- und | |||||
Körpertemperaturmessungen waren normal, oder etwas niedrig. | |||||
- Simply on the basis of some laboratory tests, they were going to have their thyroid gland destroyed. But on the basis | |||||
of all of the traditional ways of judging thyroid function, they were hypothyroid. | |||||
- Alleine auf Basis einiger Laborwerte hätten sie ihre Schilddrüsen zerstören lassen. Aber auf Basis aller | |||||
traditionellen Mittel, die Schilddrüsenfunktion zu beurteilen, hatten sie eine Unterfunktion. | |||||
- Broda Barnes, who worked mostly in Fort Collins, Colorado, argued that the body temperature, measured before getting | |||||
out of bed in the morning, was the best basis for diagnosing thyroid function. | |||||
- Broda Barnes, der hauptsächlich in Fort Collins, Colorado arbeitete, argumentierte, dass die Körpertemperatur, wenn | |||||
sie vor dem Aufstehen in der Früh gemessen wird, die beste Basis zur Diagnose einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion ist. | |||||
- Fort Collins, at a high altitude, has a cool climate most of the year. The altitude itself helps the thyroid to | |||||
function normally. For example, one study (Savourey, et al., 1998) showed an 18% increase in T3 at a high altitude, | |||||
and mitochondria become more numerous and are more efficient at preventing lactic acid production, capillary | |||||
leakiness, etc. | |||||
- Fort Collins, eine sehr hoch gelegene Stadt, hat rund ums Jahr meistens ein kühles Klima. Die hohe Lage begünstigt an | |||||
und für sich eine normale Schilddrüsenfunktion. Eine Studie (Savourey, et al., 1998) vermerkte zum Beispiel einen 18 | |||||
%-igen Anstieg des T3-Spiegels in großer Höhe. Mitochondrien vervielfachen sich und sind darin effizienter, die | |||||
Bildung von Laktat, die Durchlässigkeit der Kapillaren, usw. zu hemmen, | |||||
- In Eugene during a hot and humid summer, I saw several obviously hypothyroid people whose temperature seemed perfectly | |||||
normal, euthyroid by Barnes' standards. But I noticed that their pulse rates were, in several cases, very low. It | |||||
takes very little metabolic energy to keep the body at 98.6 degrees when the air temperature is in the nineties. In | |||||
cooler weather, I began asking people whether they used electric blankets, and ignored their temperature measurements | |||||
if they did. | |||||
- Während eines heißen und schwülen Sommers in Eugene sah ich mehrere offensichtlich hypothyreote Menschen, deren | |||||
Temperaturmessungen ganz normal wirkten - laut Barnes euthyreot. Aber ich bemerkte, dass ihre Pulsraten in vielen | |||||
Fällen sehr niedrig waren. Es wird sehr wenig metabolische Energie benötigt, um die Körpertemperatur bei 98,6° F | |||||
(36,6° C) Grad beizubehalten, wenn die Außentemperatur bei über 90° F (Mitte 30° C) liegt. Bei kühlerem Wetter begann | |||||
ich, Leute zu fragen, ob sie Heizdecken benutzen, und, wenn dem so war, ignorierte ich ihre Temperaturmessungen. | |||||
- The combination of pulse rate and temperature is much better than either one alone. I happened to see two people whose | |||||
resting pulse rates were chronically extremely high, despite their hypothyroid symptoms. When they took a thyroid | |||||
supplement, their pulse rates came down to normal. (Healthy and intelligent groups of people have been found to have | |||||
an average resting pulse rate of 85/minute, while less healthy groups average close to 70/minute.) | |||||
- Die Kombination von Puls und Temperatur ist viel sinnvoller als nur eines der beiden. Ich sah zufällig zwei Leute, die | |||||
trotz Symptomen einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion einen chronisch sehr hohen Puls hatten. Durch Zufuhr eines | |||||
Schilddrüsenhormonpräparats sanken ihre Pulsraten wieder auf normale Werte. (Gesunde und intelligente Gruppen haben | |||||
nachweislich einen Durchschnittspuls von 85 Schläge pro Minute, während weniger gesunde Gruppen eher einen Puls von 70 | |||||
haben.) | |||||
- The speed of the pulse is partly determined by adrenaline, and many hypothyroid people compensate with very high | |||||
adrenaline production. Knowing that hypothyroid people are susceptible to hypoglycemia, and that hypoglycemia | |||||
increases adrenaline, I found that many people had normal (and sometimes faster than average) pulse rates when they | |||||
woke up in the morning, and when they got hungry. Salt, which helps to maintain blood sugar, also tends to lower | |||||
adrenalin, and hypothyroid people often lose salt too easily in their urine and sweat. Measuring the pulse rate before | |||||
and after breakfast, and in the afternoon, can give a good impression of the variations in adrenalin. (The blood | |||||
pressure, too, will show the effects of adrenaline in hypothyroid people. Hypothyroidism is a major cause of | |||||
hypertension.) | |||||
- Die Pulsrate wird teilweise durch Adrenalin bestimmt, und viele Menschen kompensieren ihre Schilddrüsenunterfunktion | |||||
mit einer hohen Adrenalinproduktion. Angesichts dessen, dass mehrere hypothyreote Menschen zu Unterzuckerung | |||||
tendieren, und dass eine Unterzuckerung Adrenalin steigert, merkte ich, dass viele Leute einen normalen (und manchmal | |||||
überdurchschnittlich schnellen) Puls hatten, sowohl in der Früh als auch wenn sie Hunger bekamen. Salz, welches zum | |||||
Erhalt eines normalen Blutzuckerspiegels beiträgt, senkt tendenziell auch Adrenalin, und hypothyreote Menschen | |||||
verlieren Salz sehr schnell im Urin und im Schweiß. Um einen besseren Eindruck der Variation im Adrenalinspiegel zu | |||||
bekommen, kann man den Puls vor und nach dem Frühstück sowie am Nachmittag messen. (Der Blutdruck zeigt zudem auch die | |||||
Wirkung von Adrenalin in Menschen mit einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion. Eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion ist eine häufige | |||||
Ursache des Bluthochdrucks.) | |||||
- But hypoglycemia also tends to decrease the conversion of T4 to T3, so heat production often decreases when a person | |||||
is hungry. First, their fingers, toes, and nose will get cold, because adrenalin, or adrenergic sympathetic nervous | |||||
activity, will increase to keep the brain and heart at a normal temperature, by reducing circulation to the skin and | |||||
extremities. Despite the temperature-regulating effect of adrenalin, the reduced heat production resulting from | |||||
decreased T3 will make a person susceptible to hypothermia if the environment is cool. | |||||
- Aber Unterzuckerung senkt tendenziell auch die Konvertierung von T4 in T3, was dazu führt, dass die Wärmeproduktion | |||||
auch sinkt, wenn man Hunger bekommt. Es werden zuerst die Finger, dann die Zehe und schließlich die Nase kalt, weil | |||||
Adrenalin bzw. die adrenergische Aktivität des Sympathikus steigt, um die Temperatur des Gehirns und des Herzes normal | |||||
zu halten, indem die Durchblutung der Haut und der Extremitäten gesenkt wird. Trotz der temperatur-regulierenden | |||||
Wirkung von Adrenalin wird man aufgrund der geringeren Wärmeproduktion durch weniger T3 anfälliger für eine | |||||
Unterkühlung, falls die Umgebung auch kühl ist. | |||||
- Since food, especially carbohydrate and protein, will increase blood sugar and T3 production, eating is “thermogenic,” | |||||
and the oral (or eardrum) temperature is likely to rise after eating. | |||||
- Da Essen, und insbesondere Kohlenhydrate und Eiweiß, den Blutzuckerspiegel und T3-Produktion steigern, ist der Verzehr | |||||
von Essen an und für sich „thermogen“, und die Oral- bzw. Trommelfelltemperatur kann nach einer Mahlzeit steigen. | |||||
- Blood sugar falls at night, and the body relies on the glucose stored in the liver as glycogen for energy, and | |||||
hypothyroid people store very little sugar. As a result, adrenalin and cortisol begin to rise almost as soon as a | |||||
person goes to bed, and in hypothyroid people, they rise very high, with the adrenalin usually peaking around 1 or 2 | |||||
A.M., and the cortisol peaking around dawn; the high cortisol raises blood sugar as morning approaches, and allows | |||||
adrenalin to decline. Some people wake up during the adrenalin peak with a pounding heart, and have trouble getting | |||||
back to sleep unless they eat something. | |||||
- Der Blutzuckerspiegel sinkt in der Nacht, und der Körper ist auf den in der Leber als Glykogen gespeicherten Zucker | |||||
als Energiequelle verlassen, und Menschen mit einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion speichern sehr wenig Zucker in ihrer | |||||
Leber. Dementsprechend fangen Adrenalin und Cortisol fast unmittelbar nach dem Schlafengehen an zu steigen. Bei | |||||
Menschen mit einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion steigen sie sehr hoch - das Adrenalin erreicht um ungefähr ein oder zwei | |||||
Uhr seinen Höhepunkt und Cortisol ungefähr bei der Dämmerung. Das hohe Cortisol steigert den Blutzuckerspiegel, wenn | |||||
der Morgen naht. Manche Leute wachen bei dem Adrenalinhöhepunkt mit starkem Herzrasen auf, und es fällt ihnen schwer, | |||||
wieder einzuschlafen, ohne etwas zu essen. | |||||
- If the night-time stress is very high, the adrenalin will still be high until breakfast, increasing both temperature | |||||
and pulse rate. The cortisol stimulates the breakdown of muscle tissue and its conversion to energy, so it is | |||||
thermogenic, for some of the same reasons that food is thermogenic. | |||||
- Bei hohem Stress in der Nacht, bleibt das Adrenalin auch bis zur ersten Mahlzeit auch hoch, was für eine höhere | |||||
Temperatur sowie einen höheren Puls sorgt. Cortisol stimuliert den Muskelabbau und die Konvertierung dessen in | |||||
Energie, und ist also thermogen - dies ähnelt der thermogenen Wirkung von Essen. | |||||
- After eating breakfast, the cortisol (and adrenalin, if it stayed high despite the increased cortisol) will start | |||||
returning to a more normal, lower level, as the blood sugar is sustained by food, instead of by the stress hormones. | |||||
In some hypothyroid people, this is a good time to measure the temperature and pulse rate. In a normal person, both | |||||
temperature and pulse rate rise after breakfast, but in very hypothyroid people either, or both, might fall. | |||||
- Nach dem Frühstück fängt das Cortisol (und das Adrenalin, falls es trotz hohem Cortisol hoch blieb,) an, auf eine | |||||
normales, niedrigeres Niveau zu sinken, während der Blutzuckerspiegel von der zugeführten Nahrung statt von den | |||||
Stresshormonen aufrechterhalten wird. Bei einigen hypothyreoten Personen ist das ein guter Zeitpunkt, die Temperatur | |||||
und den Puls zu messen. Bei einer normalen Person steigt nach dem Frühstück sowohl die Temperatur als auch der Puls, | |||||
aber bei sehr hypothyreoten Personen kann entweder das eine, das andere oder sogar beides sinken. | |||||
- Some hypothyroid people have a very slow pulse, apparently because they aren't compensating with a large production of | |||||
adrenalin. When they eat, the liver's increased production of T3 is likely to increase both their temperature and | |||||
their pulse rate. | |||||
- Einige hypothyreote Personen haben einen sehr niedrigen Puls, scheinbar aufgrund dessen, dass sie nicht mithilfe einer | |||||
hohen Adrenalinproduktion kompensieren. Wenn sie essen, sorgt sehr wahrscheinlich die erhöhte Produktion von T3 in der | |||||
Leber dafür, dass sowohl die Temperatur als auch der Puls steigt. | |||||
- By watching the temperature and pulse rate at different times of day, especially before and after meals, it's possible | |||||
to separate some of the effects of stress from the thyroid-dependent, relatively “basal” metabolic rate. When | |||||
beginning to take a thyroid supplement, it's important to keep a chart of these measurements for at least two weeks, | |||||
since that's roughly the half-life of thyroxine in the body. When the body has accumulated a steady level of the | |||||
hormones, and begun to function more fully, the factors such as adrenaline that have been chronically distorted to | |||||
compensate for hypothyroidism will have begun to normalize, and the early effects of the supplementary thyroid will in | |||||
many cases seem to disappear, with heart rate and temperature declining. The daily dose of thyroid often has to be | |||||
increased several times, as the state of stress and the adrenaline and cortisol production decrease. | |||||
- Wenn man die Temperatur und den Puls im Laufe eines Tages zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten misst, vor allem vor und nach | |||||
einer Mahlzeit, ist es möglich, einige der Wirkungen der Stresshormone von dem schilddrüsenhormon-abhängigen, relativ | |||||
„basalen“ Grundumsatz zu unterscheiden. Am Anfang einer Therapie mit Schilddrüsenhormon ist es wichtig, die Messungen | |||||
mindestens zwei Wochen aufzuschreiben und ggf. als Kurve darzustellen, da die Halbwertszeit von Thyroxin (T4) im | |||||
Körper ungefähr zwei Wochen beträgt. Wenn sich einmal ein stabiler Spiegel der Hormone im Körper etabliert hat, werden | |||||
sich jene Faktoren normalisieren, die zwecks Kompensierung der Unterfunktion chronisch verzerrt geblieben waren, und | |||||
die frühen Auswirkungen der Zufuhr von Schilddrüsenhormon verschwinden in den meisten Fällen - es sinken dabei der | |||||
Puls und die Temperatur. Die Tagesdosis von Schilddrüsenhormon muss oft mehrere Male erhöht werden, während der | |||||
Stresszustand und die Produktion von Adrenalin und Cortisol sinken. | |||||
- Counting calories achieves approximately the same thing as measuring oxygen consumption, and is something that will | |||||
allow people to evaluate the various thyroid tests they may be given by their doctor. Although food intake and | |||||
metabolic rate vary from day to day, an approximate calorie count for several days can often make it clear that a | |||||
diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is mistaken. If a person is eating only about 1800 calories per day, and has a steady and | |||||
normal body weight, any “hyperthyroidism” is strictly metaphysical, or as they say, “clinical.” | |||||
- Das Zählen von Kalorien erreicht annähernd das, was durch die Messung des Sauerstoffkonsums erreicht werden soll, und | |||||
ermöglicht es einem, die diversen Schilddrüsentests zu evaluieren, die man von seinem Arzt bekommen könnte. Obwohl die | |||||
Nahrungszufuhr und der Grundumsatz von Tag zu Tag variieren mag, kann ein geschätzter Kalorienkonsum über einige Tage | |||||
es einem klarstellen, dass eine Schilddrüsen*über*funktion eine Fehldiagnose ist. Sollte eine Person nur um die 1800 | |||||
Kalorien am Tag konsumieren, und dabei einen normales, stabiles Körpergewicht beibehalten, sind jegliche Diagnosen | |||||
einer „Überfunktion“ schlichtweg metaphysisch, bzw. sogenannte „klinische“ Diagnosen. | |||||
- When the humidity and temperature are normal, a person evaporates about a liter of water for every 1000 calories | |||||
metabolized. Eating 2000 calories per day, a normal person will take in about four liters of liquid, and form about | |||||
two liters of urine. A hyperthyroid person will invisibly lose several quarts of water in a day, and a hypothyroid | |||||
person may evaporate a quart or less. | |||||
- Wenn die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur normal sind, verdampft eine Person ungefähr einen Liter Wasser pro 1000 | |||||
verstoffwechselten Kalorien. Durch einen Konsum von 2000 Kalorien am Tag, führt sich eine normale Person ungefähr vier | |||||
Liter Wasser zu sich zu und bildet ungefähr zwei Liter Urin. Jemand mit einer Schilddrüsen*über*funktion verliert | |||||
unsichtbar mehrere Liter Wasser pro Tag, und jemand mit einer Unterfunktion könnte hingegen lediglich einen Liter | |||||
verdampfen, oder sogar weniger. | |||||
- When cells, because of a low metabolic rate, don't easily return to their thoroughly energized state after they have | |||||
been stimulated, they tend to take up water, or, in the case of blood vessels, to become excessively permeable. | |||||
Fatigued muscles swell noticeably, and chronically fatigued nerves can swell enough to cause them to be compressed by | |||||
the surrounding connective tissues. The energy and hydration state of cells can be detected in various ways, including | |||||
magnetic resonance, and electrical impedance, but functional tests are easy and practical. | |||||
- Wenn die Zellen aufgrund eines niedrigen Grundumsatzes nicht besonders einfach zu ihrem völlig energiereichen Zustand | |||||
zurückkehren, nachdem sie gereizt wurden, nehmen sie tendenziell Wasser auf, oder sie werden wie im Falle der | |||||
Blutgefäße exzessiv durchlässig. Ermüdete Muskeln schwellen merklich an, und chronisch ermüdete Nerven können so viel | |||||
anschwellen, dass sie von dem umliegenden Bindegewebe zusammengedrückt werden können. | |||||
- With suitable measuring instruments, the effects of hypothyroidism can be seen as slowed conduction along nerves, and | |||||
slowed recovery and readiness for new responses. Slow reaction time is associated with slowed memory, perception, and | |||||
other mental processes. Some of these nervous deficits can be remedied slightly just by raising the core temperature | |||||
and providing suitable nutrients, but the active thyroid hormone, T3 is mainly responsible for maintaining the | |||||
temperature, the nutrients, and the intracellular respiratory energy production. | |||||
- Mittels angemessener Messgeräte lassen sich die Auswirkungen einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion durch eine langsame | |||||
Konduktivität entlang der Nerven beobachten und durch verlangsamte Erholung und Bereitschaft für neue Antworten und | |||||
Reaktionen. Eine verlangsamte Reaktionszeit geht mit anderen langsamen Prozessen einher, wie zum Beispiel Gedächtnis, | |||||
Wahrnehmung und anderen geistigen Prozessen. Ein mildes Entgegenwirken dieser Nervendefizite ist durch eine Erhöhung | |||||
der Kerntemperatur sowie die Zufuhr ausgewählter Nährstoffe möglich, aber das aktive Schilddrüsenhormon, T3, ist | |||||
hauptverantwortlich dafür, die Temperatur, die benötigten Nährstoffe und die intrazelluläre Energieproduktion | |||||
aufrechtzuerhalten. | |||||
- In nerves, as in other cells, the ability to rest and repair themselves increases with the proper level of thyroid | |||||
hormone. In some cells, the energized stability produced by the thyroid hormones prevents inflammation or an | |||||
immunological hyperactivity. In the 1950s, shortly after it was identified as a distinct substance, T3 was found to be | |||||
anti-inflammatory, and both T4 and T3 have a variety of anti-inflammatory actions, besides the suppression of the | |||||
pro-inflammatory TSH. | |||||
- In Nerven, wie in anderen Zellen, steigt das Vermögen, sich zu reparieren und zu erholen, mit dem richtigen | |||||
Schilddrüsenhormonspiegel. In einigen Zellen hemmt die durch das Schilddrüsenhormon hervorgerufene energetische | |||||
Stabilisierung Entzündungen bzw. immunologische Überaktivität. In den 1950er Jahren wurde T3, kurz nachdem es als | |||||
eigene Substanz identifiziert wurde, als entzündungshemmend erkannt, und sowohl T4 als auch T3 haben abgesehen von | |||||
ihrer Hemmung des entzündungsfördernden TSH mehrere andere entzündungshemmende Wirkungen. | |||||
- Because the actions of T3 can be inhibited by many factors, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, reverse T3, and | |||||
excess thyroxine, the absolute level of T3 can't be used by itself for diagnosis. “Free T3” or “free T4” is a | |||||
laboratory concept, and the biological activity of T3 doesn't necessarily correspond to its “freedom” in the test. T3 | |||||
bound to its transport proteins can be demonstrated to enter cells, mitochondria, and nuclei. Transthyretin, which | |||||
carries both vitamin A and thyroid hormones, is sharply decreased by stress, and should probably be regularly measured | |||||
as part of the thyroid examination. | |||||
- Da die Wirkungen von T3 durch mehrere Faktoren gehemmt werden können, darunter die mehrfach ungesättigten Fettsäuren, | |||||
sind Reverse-T3, exzessive Thyroxin-Werte und der absolute T3-Spiegel für eine Diagnose nicht ausreichend. „Freies T3“ | |||||
bzw. „freies T4“ sind Konzepte aus dem Labor, und die biologische Aktivität von T3 stimmt nicht zwingend mit seiner | |||||
„Freiheit“ in einem Labortest überein. Es kann demonstriert werden, dass an seinen Transportproteinen gebundenes T3 in | |||||
Zellen, Mitochondrien und Zellkerne eindringen kann. Transthyretin, welches sowohl Vitamin A als auch die | |||||
Schilddrüsenhormone an sich trägt, wird durch Stress dramatisch gesenkt, und dessen Messung sollte wahrscheinlich | |||||
regelmäßig als Teil einer Untersuchung der Schilddrüsenfunktion unternommen werden. | |||||
- When T3 is metabolically active, lactic acid won't be produced unnecessarily, so the measurement of lactate in the | |||||
blood is a useful test for interpreting thyroid function. Cholesterol is used rapidly under the influence of T3, and | |||||
ever since the 1930s it has been clear that serum cholesterol rises in hypothyroidism, and is very useful | |||||
diagnostically. Sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, creatinine, albumin, glucose, and other components of the serum | |||||
are regulated by the thyroid hormones, and can be used along with the various functional tests for evaluating thyroid | |||||
function. | |||||
- Wenn T3 metabolisch aktiv ist, wird Milchsäure nicht unnötigerweise produziert und die Messung von Milchsäure bzw. | |||||
Laktat im Blut ist also ein nützlicher Test, um die Schilddrüsenfunktion zu kontrollieren. Cholesterin wird relativ | |||||
rapide unter Einfluss von T3 verstoffwechselt und schon seit den 1930er Jahren ist es klar, dass das Serumcholesterin | |||||
bei einer Schilddrüsenunterfunktion steigt, und das kann eine gute diagnostische Aussagekraft haben. Natrium, | |||||
Magnesium, Kalzium, Albumin, Glukose und andere Serumkomponenten werden durch die Schilddrüsenhormone reguliert und | |||||
können zusammen mit diversen funktionalen Tests zur Evaluierung der Schilddrüsenfunktion zur Hand genommen werden. | |||||
- Stereotypes are important. When a very thin person with high blood pressure visits a doctor, hypothyroidism isn't | |||||
likely to be considered; even high TSH and very low T4 and T3 are likely to be ignored, because of the stereotypes. | |||||
(And if those tests were in the healthy range, the person would be at risk for the “hyperthyroid” diagnosis.) But | |||||
remembering some of the common adaptive reactions to a thyroid deficiency, the catabolic effects of high cortisol and | |||||
the circulatory disturbance caused by high adrenaline should lead to doing some of the appropriate tests, instead of | |||||
treating the person's hypertension and “under nourished” condition. | |||||
- Stereotypen sind wichtig. Wenn eine dünne Person mit hohem Blutdruck zum Arzt geht, wird eine Schilddrüsenfunktion | |||||
sehr unwahrscheinlich in Betracht gezogen; selbst ein hoher TSH-Wert und sehr niedrige T4- und T3-Werte werden wohl | |||||
aufgrund der Stereotypen ignoriert. (Und falls diese Tests im gesunden Bereich liegen, besteht dann das Risiko der | |||||
Diagnose einer Schilddrüsen*über*funktion.) Aber wenn man sich an einige der häufigen adaptiven Reaktionen auf eine | |||||
schwache Schilddrüse erinnert, sollten die katabolischen Effekte eines hohen Cortisol-Spiegels und der | |||||
adrenalin-bedingten Kreislaufstörungen dazu führen, einige der angemessenen Tests durchzuführen, anstatt den | |||||
Bluthochdruck und die „Mangelernährung“ der Person zu behandeln. |
