Dose-dependent effect of TRH on plasma oleic acid in man.

Administered to normal subjects of either sex, the TRH enhances the plasma oleic acid after 60 minutes without any significantly marked modification in the blood concentration of total FFA. The oleic acid increase is significantly dependent on the amount of administered TRH (200 microgram and greater than or equal to 400 microgram). It is accompanied by 1) a more or less pronounced but acute release of TSH, and 2) a rise in circulating T3 but a submaximal value within the time-course of the experiment (1 h). This elevation is presumably due to a preferential liberation of oleic acid by the adipose tissue, through a direct action of TSH and/or under the permissive influence of the thyroid hormone, among other factors that may intervene in the process.

The Adolescent Behavior Checklist: normative data and sensitivity and specificity of a screening tool for diagnosable psychiatric disorders in adolescents with mental retardation and other development disabilities.

Individuals with mental retardation are almost twice as likely to demonstrate severe behavioral problems or symptoms of mental illness as are nonmentally retarded individuals. At present, however, the ability to diagnose a mental disorder in an individual with mental retardation is difficult, and instruments are needed to help facilitate this process. The Adolescent Behavior Checklist was developed with this purpose in mind. This self-report scale is used to assess the likelihood that an adolescent with mild mental retardation or borderline intelligence has a diagnosable mental illness. The 86-item yes/no self-report scale renders scores on eight subscales derived from DSM III-R. The checklist has been found to have good criterion and congruent validity and good test-retest reliability. Data regarding interrater reliability and the sensitivity and specificity of the scale are presented, as are implications for future research.
