Type II deiodinase AND hypothyroidism AND T3 OR T4 OR T3/T4 - Search Results - PubMed
Source: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Article summary:
1. Type II deiodinase polymorphism causes ER stress and hypothyroidism in the brain: This study found that a specific genetic variation in type II deiodinase, an enzyme involved in thyroid hormone metabolism, leads to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and hypothyroidism in the brain. The researchers demonstrated this by studying mice with this genetic variation and observed impaired thyroid hormone signaling and neurological abnormalities.
2. Levothyroxine (LT4) treatment for hypothyroidism: Levothyroxine is a commonly used form of thyroid hormone to treat hypothyroidism. In the brain, T4 (thyroxine) is converted to the active form T3 (triiodothyronine) by type II deiodinase. This conversion is important for maintaining normal thyroid hormone levels and function in the brain. The article discusses how primary hypothyroidism can affect this conversion process and highlights the importance of LT4 treatment.
3. Implications for understanding hypothyroidism: The findings of these studies have implications for understanding the mechanisms underlying hypothyroidism, particularly in relation to type II deiodinase activity and its impact on thyroid hormone metabolism in the brain. Understanding these mechanisms can potentially lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for individuals with hypothyroidism.
