The processes and pathways mediating the intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are all affected by thyroid hormones (THs) in almost all tissues. Particular attention has been devoted by scientists to the effects of THs on lipid metabolism. Among

We previously reported that T3(3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine) acutely increases sodium currents (INa) in neonatal rat myocytes. Here we compare the effects of several thyroid hormone analogs, including T4(3,3',5,5'-tetraiodo-L-thyronine), rT3(3,3',5'-triiodo-L-thyronine), D-T3(3,3',5-triiodo-D-thyronine), 3,5-T2(3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine), DIT (3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine), MIT (3-monoiodo-L-tyrosine), tetrac (3,3',5,5'-tetraiodo-thyroacetic acid), triac (3, 3',5-triiodo-thyroacetic acid)

Short-term effects of 3,5-l-diiodothyronine (T2) on lipid biosynthesis were studied in cultured hepatocytes from hypothyroid rats. A comparison with the effects of T3 was routinely carried out. After T2 addition to cell cultures, a distinct stimulation of fatty acid and

The worldwide prevalence of obesity-associated pathologies, including type 2 diabetes, requires thorough investigation of mechanisms and interventions. Recent studies have highlighted thyroid hormone analogs and derivatives as potential agents able to counteract such pathologies. In this study, in rats receiving

Previous studies have demonstrated that 3,5-L-diiodothyronine (T(2)) is able to prevent lipid accumulation in the liver of rats fed a high-fat diet. Whether this effect is due to a direct action of T(2) on the liver has not been elucidated.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
