Jul 19th, 2021 - The thyroid hormone system is a main target of endocrine disruptor compounds (EDC) at all levels of its intricately fine-tuned feedback regulation, synthesis, distribution, metabolism and action of the 'prohormone' thyroxine and its active metabol...

Jul 17th, 2021 - Maternal thyroid hormone plays an essential role for fetal development, especially for the cardiovascular system and its central control. However, the precise consequences of altered thyroid hormone action during the different periods in pregnancy...

Jun 25th, 2021 - Micronutrients influence hormone action and host metabolism. Dietary minerals, trace elements, and vitamins can alter blood glucose and cellular glucose metabolism, and several micronutrients are associated with the risk and progression of type 2 ...

Mar 16th, 2021 - Deiodinases modify the biological activity of thyroid hormone (TH) molecules, ie, they may activate thyroxine (T4) to 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3), or they may inactivate T3 to 3,3'-diiodo-L-thyronine (T2) or T4 to reverse triiodothyronine (rT3). ...

Dec 4th, 2019 - Participants undergo clinical evaluations over 12 months including physical exam and vital signs, waist to hip circumference, electrocardiograms, medical history and events, laboratory evaluations, imaging evaluations, cognitive function evaluatio...

Oct 6th, 2017 - Thyroid hormone action is an important regulator of the metabolism and the function of many organs. The active form of thyroid hormone is T3, and its blood and tissue levels are the result of the secretion of T3 and its precursor, thyroxine (T4), ...

Jun 29th, 2017 - The relationship between the growth hormone (GH)-insulin like growth factor (IGF)-I system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is complex and not univocal. Both a stimulatory and neutral effect of IGF-I on HPA axis has been demonstra...

Feb 23rd, 2015 - Thyroid hormone action plays an important role in the regulation of many physiologic processes, among them glucose and lipid metabolism. Interestingly, the clinical presentation of thyroid dysfunction is extremely variable, with relatively poor co...

May 20th, 2019 - Acknowledging significant knowledge gaps regarding the complex relationship between thyroid function — and dysfunction — and cardiovascular disease, an international working group has identified key research priorities that need to be addressed. T...

Jan 4th, 2011 - An Interview With Faramarz Ismail-Beigi, MD About the Interviewee Faramarz Ismail-Beigi, MD, PhD, is a Professor of Medicine, Endocrinology, and Physiology and Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals of Cleveland, and t...
