Reduced expression of thyroid hormone receptor β in human nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Hepatic thyroid hormone signaling has an important role in the development and progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). While the systemic levels of thyroid hormone might remain stable, there is evidence that the intracellular signaling ...

Resistance to thyroid hormone due to a novel mutation of thyroid hormone receptor beta gene [PDF]
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a rare inherited syndrome characterized by diminished response of the target tissue to thyroid hormone caused, in the majority of cases, by mutation of the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ) gene. Despite elevated
