We investigated the influence of hypo- and hyperthyroidism on the ability of leptin to modulate TSH secretion. Two hours after receiving leptin (8 mug leptin/100 g BW; s.c.), hyperthyroid rats (10 mug thyroxine (T4)/100 g body weight (BW) for 5 days) showed a 1.7-fold increase in serum TSH (P&lt;0.05); in hypothyroid rats, leptin had no effect. Hemi-pituitaries of hyperthyroid rats incubated with 10(-9) and 10(-7)M leptin showed reductions in TSH release of 40 and 50% respectively (P&lt;0.05); incubation with 1:2000 and 1:500 dilutions of antiserum against leptin resulted in 3- and 4-fold higher TSH release (P&lt;0.05 and P&lt;0.001 respectively). However, in hypothyroid pituitaries leptin or the antiserum had no effect. The results suggest that the in vivo and in vitro responsiveness of TSH to leptin is abolished in hypothyroidism and is preserved in short-term hyperthyroidism, in comparison to previous reports in euthyroidism. In addition, the inhibitory action of pituitary leptin is enhanced in hyperthyroid glands, which may suggest a role for locally produced leptin in the suppression of TSH release associated with hyperthyroidism.

Thyroid hormones modulate the endocrine and autocrine/paracrine actions of leptin on thyrotropin secretion
