Thyroid-like function in the urochordate Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
In the studies reported in the manuscript I investigated the involvement of Iodine and thyroxine (Thyroid Hormone, T4) in Ciona intestinalis metamorphosis. To date, the mechanisms regulating the metamorphosis of ascidians remain largely unknown.

Thyroid Hormones and Mitochondria
Because of their central role in the regulation of energy-transduction, mitochondria, the major site of oxidative processes within the cell, are considered a likely subcellular target for the action that thyroid hormones exert on energy metabolism. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of basal metabolic rate (BMR) by thyroid hormones still ...

Involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and its interaction with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the ontogeny of avian thermoregulation: a review [PDF]
The emergence of thermoregulation in avian species is a complex matter in which neural as well as hormonal processes are involved. In a previous paper, the neural aspects of primary avian thermoregulation were discussed.

The Syndromes of Resistance to Thyroid Hormone Beta
The syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormone(RTH) is a rare syndrome caused by the mutation of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) gene, which reduces the sensitivity of target organs to thyroid hormone (TH) and leads to the dysfunction of TH. Thyroid hormone

TRH: Pathophysiologic and clinical implications [PDF]
Thyrotropin releasing hormone is thought to be a tonic stimulator of the pituitary TSH secretion regulating the setpoint of the thyrotrophs to the suppressive effect of thyroid hormones. The peptide stimulates the release of normal and elevated prolactin.

Thyroid hormone upregulates zinc-α2-glycoprotein production in the liver but not in adipose tissue. [PDF]
Overproduction of zinc-α2-glycoprotein by adipose tissue is crucial in accounting for the lipolysis occurring in cancer cachexia of certain malignant tumors.

Role of maternal thyroid hormones in the developing neocortex and during human evolution
The importance of thyroid hormones during brain development has been appreciated for many decades. In humans, low levels of circulating maternal thyroid hormones, e.g.

Effect of Antiepileptic Drug Treatment on Thyroid Hormone Levels in Epilepsy Patients
Aim:Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can have an effect on hormone metabolism and function, and alter serum levels of some hormones. This study aimed to determine the effects of AEDs on thyroid function test results in epilepsy patients.Methods:The study ...

Resistance to Thyroid Hormone in the Absence of Mutations in the Thyroid Hormone Receptor Genes
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a syndrome of reduced tissue sensitivity to thyroid hormone. In the majority of subjects, RTH is caused by mutant thyroid hormone receptors (TR) ß molecules that interfere with the function of the normal TRß, thus ...
