SPINA Team @spinateam.bsky.social · Apr 7

In an adjusted model, #SPINA-GD correlates significantly with type 2 allostatic load. It parallels the association to central markers of thyroid homeostasis, underscoring the TSH-T3 feedforward control.

#thyroid #allostasis

doi.org/10.1080/1025...

Table of the paper: Unadjusted and adjusted correlation models for the association between allostatic load and calculated biomarkers of thyroid homeostasis. The allostatic load correlates with Jostel's TSH index (TSHI), TTSI, TFQI and SPINA-GD.

Table of the paper: In adjusted models, SPINA-GD is higher in quartiles 2 to 4 of allostatic load than in the baseline quartile 1.

Figure from the paper showing the evolution of SPINA-GBeta with different levels of adherence to Mediterranean diet and exercise. SPINA-GBeta is reduced in the group with high adherence to Mediterranean diet, probably due to diminished workload of pancreatic beta-cells.

In women with latent (i. e., euthyroid) autoimmune #thyroiditis, both #SPINA-GT and #SPINA-GD rise in #pregnancy, provided the supply of #selenium and vitamin D is sufficient. This observation may reflect physiological type 2 #allostatic reactions or reduced autoimmunity.

Table from the paper: Thyroid antibodies, hormones, and calculated parameters of thyroid homeostasis in mothers of female infants included in the study (the intent-to-treat analysis). SPINA-GT and SPINA-GD rise in parallel to declining thyroid autoantibodies.
