Non-thyroidal illness is a common cause of altered thyroid hormone concentrations in animals and people. Endotoxin, an important mediator in the pathophysiology of endotoxic shock, alters certain hypophyseal hormones after its systemic administration. Hormonal changes associated with endotoxin administration include increased activity of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-adrenal axis and reduced secretion of thyroid hormones. The purpose of the study was to determine the alteration of thyroid hormone concentrations after endotoxin administration in dogs.
