Patients with prostate cancer demonstrate a significant change in thyroid hormones when treated with estrogens after orchiectomy. Low-dose estrogen treatment for more than six months stimulates the synthesis of thyroxine-binding globulin. As a consequence, serum level of thyroxine is also increased. Serum free thyroxine is distinctly lowered by estrogen treatment while the linear ratio of thyroxine and free thyroxine is disturbed.
前列腺癌患者在睾丸切除术后接受雌激素治疗时,甲状腺激素会发生显著变化。低剂量雌激素治疗超过六个月会刺激甲状腺素结合球蛋白的合成。因此,血清甲状腺素水平也会升高。雌激素治疗会使血清游离甲状腺素明显降低,同时甲状腺素与游离甲状腺素的线性比例受到干扰。
