Thyroid: biological actions of 'nonclassical' thyroid hormones.
Thyroid hormones (THs) are produced by the thyroid gland and converted in peripheral organs by deiodinases. THs regulate cell functions through two distinct mechanisms: genomic (nuclear) and nongenomic (non-nuclear). Many TH effects are mediated by the genomic pathway--a mechanism that requires TH activation of nuclear thyroid hormone receptors. The overall nongenomic processes, emerging as imp...
متن کاملThyroid Hormone Tutorial: the Thyroid and Thyroid Hormones
During fetal development, the thyroid originates in the back of the tongue before migrating to the front of the neck, just below the larynx. The largest gland in the neck, a normal thyroid is a firm, reddish brown, smooth gland and weighs less than one ounce and is made up of two large lobes that lie along either side of the trachea. These lobes are joined together by a narrow band of thyroid t...
متن کامل[Biosynthesis of thyroid hormones].
Several problems are involved in the studies on the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones : 1) How are iodine atoms incorporated into a thyroglobulin (TG) molecule ? 2) How is the matured TG molecule built up? 3) how are carbohydrates incorporated in a TG molecule? 4) How are amino acids assembled to make up TG polypeptides? 5) How is TG hydrolyzed to produce T3 and T4 ? Recent progresses concerning...
متن کاملThyroid 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 ...
متن کاملThyroid 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...
