Therefore, the thyroid increases in size. In addition, intrathyroid depletion of iodine stimulates growth. Because of the negative feedback regulation of thyroid function, thyroid activation can be inhibited by administration of T4 doses equivalent to the endogenous daily output (approx. 150 ?g/d). Deprived of stimulation, the inactive thyroid regresses in size.
Ethinylestradiol (EE) is more stable metabolically, passes largely unchanged through the liver after oral intake and mimics estradiol at estrogen receptors. Mestranol itself is inactive; however, cleavage of the C-3 methoxy group again yields EE. In oral contraceptives, one of the two agents forms the estrogen component.
