Thyroid hormones and thermogenesis.

An extensive review article on thyroid hormone published nearly 40 years ago (Barker, 1951) might have led one to suppose that little could be added to the subject of thyroid hormones and thermogenesis. However, a large number of new ideas have since emerged with respect to the mechanisms of action of thyroid hormones, although there is still considerable uncertainty as to how they function at ...

Thyroid Hormones and Mesotherapy

Thyroid hormones are the master regulator of body metabolism and growth. They act at molecular level to manipulate genes and cellular functions to balance the basic metabolic rate. They bind to superfamily of nuclear receptors that recognize discrete sequences of DNA and act as transcription factors (Renkawitz et al., 1996). At the cellular level, thyroid hormones act directly on the mitochondr...
