Longitudinal evidence of the impact of normal thyroid stimulating hormone variations on cognitive functioning in very old age [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to examine longitudinal associations among thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and cognitive performance. Data collected at the first three assessment times, approximately 3 years apart, are reported for the survivors ...

Hormone Selectivity in Thyroid Hormone Receptors [PDF]
Separate genes encode thyroid hormone receptor subtypes TRalpha (NR1A1) and TRbeta (NR1A2). Products from each of these contribute to hormone action, but the subtypes differ in tissue distribution and physiological response. Compounds that discriminate between these subtypes in vivo may be useful in treating important medical problems such as obesity ...

Thyroid hormone receptors and resistance to thyroid hormone disorders [PDF]
Thyroid hormone action is predominantly mediated by thyroid hormone receptors (THRs), which are encoded by the thyroid hormone receptor α (THRA) and thyroid hormone receptor β (THRB) genes. Patients with mutations in THRB present with resistance to thyroid hormone β (RTHβ), which is a disorder characterized by elevated levels of thyroid hormone, normal

Thyroid hormone receptors and cancer [PDF]
Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are ligand-dependent transcription factors that mediate the actions of the thyroid hormone (T3) in development, growth, and differentiation. The THRA and THRB genes encode several TR isoforms that express in a tissue- and development-dependent manner.

Central hyperthyroidism combined with Graves' disease: case series and review of the literature
Background: Central hyperthyroidism is characterized by elevated free thyroid hormone and unsuppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and this laboratory feature includes TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma (TSHoma) and resistance to thyroid hormone β ...

Reduced pituitary size in subjects with mutations in the THRB gene and thyroid hormone resistance
Background: Thyroid hormone action is mediated by two forms of thyroid hormone receptors (α, β) with differential tissue distribution. Thyroid hormone recepto r β (TRβ) mutations lead to resistance to thyroid hormone action in tissues predominantly ...

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

Thyroid hormone, thyroid hormone receptors, and cancer: a clinical perspective [PDF]
Abstract Thyroid hormones (THs) may play a role in diseases other than hyper- and hypothyroidism. Several lines of evidence suggest tumor-promoting effects of TH and TH receptors. They are possibly mediated by phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and MAPK and involve among others stimulation of angiogenesis via αvβ3.

Placental transfer of a hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyl and effects on fetal and maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in the rat [PDF]
Earlier studies at our laboratory indicated that several hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) detected in human blood could specifically inhibit thyroxine (T4) transport by competitive binding to the thyroid hormone transport protein ...
