Cerebellum development is sensitive to thyroid hormone (TH) levels, as THs regulate neuronal migration, differentiation and myelination. Most effects of THs are mediated by the TH receptor (TR) isoforms TRb1, TRb2 and TRa1.

The Mutant Thyroid Hormone Receptor Beta R320P Causes Syndrome of Resistance to Thyroid Hormone
A 31-year-old Japanese male patient with a history of atrial fibrillation showed elevated serum levels of free thyroxine and triiodothyronine and a normal level of thyrotropin. The same abnormal hormone pattern was also found in his son. These data indicated that the index patient and the son have thyroid hormone resistance syndrome.

Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a syndrome characterized by reduced sensitivity to the thyroid hormone. It is generally caused by mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta) gene. On the basis of its clinical features, two different forms of this syndrome have been described: generalized resistance and pituitary resistance.

Thyroid Hormone Receptor Beta Gene Mutation (P453A) in a Family Producing Resistance to Thyroid Hormone [PDF]
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a dominantly inherited syndrome characterized by decreased responsiveness of target tissues to thyroid hormone. Two members of a Turkish family, a mother and son, had thyroid function tests suggestive of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH).The clinical presentation was, however, different.

Thyroid Hormone Resistance in the Heart: Role of the Thyroid Hormone Receptor β Isoform [PDF]
Several cardiac genes possess thyroid hormone (TH) response elements regulated by TH receptors. Mutation in TR-beta gene causes the human syndrome of resistance to TH, which is characterized by elevated serum concentration of T(4) and T(3) and variable degrees of insensitivity to TH.

G protein-coupled estrogen receptor regulates embryonic heart rate in zebrafish. [PDF]
Estrogens act by binding to estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERα, ERβ), ligand-dependent transcription factors that play crucial roles in sex differentiation, tumor growth and cardiovascular physiology.

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors and Shock State
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that are related to retinoid, steroid, and thyroid hormone receptors.
