Thyroid hormone metabolism in poultry [PDF]
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2000 Thyroid hormone (TH) receptors preferentially bind 3.5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3). Therefore the metabolism of thyroxine (T4) secreted by the thyroid gland in peripheral tissues, resulting in the production and degradation of receptor-active T3, plays a ...
