Abstract excerpt
Vitamin A and retinoids affect pituitary-thyroid function through suppression of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and TSH-beta subunit gene expression. We have previously shown that retinoid X receptor-selective (RXR-selective) ligands can suppress serum TSH levels in vivo and TSH-beta promoter activity in vitro. The RXR-gamma isotype has limited tissue distribution that includes the thyrotrope...
