Steroid and Thyroid Hormone Receptors
The identification, cloning, and characterization of steroid and thyroid hormone receptors have revealed much about the mechanisms of hormone action. While their remarkable similarities reflect evolutionary conservation of useful structural and functional motifs, differences in their gene number and organization, mRNA regulation, nuclear localization ...

Frequency of Dyslipidemia in Patients Having Subclinical Hypothyroidism
INTRODUCTION Thyroid hormone by binding to the thyroid hormone receptors affects metabolism and growth in nearly all tissues of the body. Thyroid hormones play vital role in the synthesis and metabolism of lipids. The reduced secretion of thyroxine (T4)

The Pathogenic TSH β-Subunit Variant C105Vfs114X Causes a Modified Signaling Profile at TSHR [PDF]
1) Background: Central congenital hypothyroidism (CCH) is a rare endocrine disorder that can be caused by mutations in the β-subunit of thyrotropin (TSHB).

Thyroid hormone resistance without mutations in thyroid hormone receptor beta
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that leads to elevated free thyroid hormone levels in the presence of normal or increased serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations if it is generalized because both the pituitary and peripheral tissues are then partially resistant.

Thyroid hormone regulates distinct paths to maturation in pigment cell lineages [PDF]
Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates diverse developmental events and can drive disparate cellular outcomes. In zebrafish, TH has opposite effects on neural crest derived pigment cells of the adult stripe pattern, limiting melanophore population expansion, yet

The calcium-sensing receptor as a regulator of cellular fate in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) belongs to the evolutionarily conserved family of plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Early studies identified an essential role for the CaSR in systemic calcium homeostasis through its ability to ...

Estrone and estradiol concentrations in human ovaries, testes, and adrenals during the first two years of life [PDF]
To determine the origin of estrogens in infant blood, we measured estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2) in the gonads of 50 girls and 64 boys who died suddenly between birth and 2 yr of age as well as in the adrenals of 18 of these infant girls and 16 of the ...

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has the potential to disrupt the thyroid endocrine system, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. In this study, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to different concentrations of DEHP (0, 40, 100, 200, 400 ...

Human amniotic fluid contaminants alter thyroid hormone signalling and early brain development in Xenopus embryos. [PDF]
Thyroid hormones are essential for normal brain development in vertebrates. In humans, abnormal maternal thyroid hormone levels during early pregnancy are associated with decreased offspring IQ and modified brain structure.
