Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone (T3) influences cardiac function, and mice with deletion of thyroid hormone receptor (TR)alpha have diminished cardiac function. TR alpha 1 represents 70% and TR beta 1 represents the remaining 30% of TR in ventricular myocytes, and its role in cardiac function is not well established. To determine the role of TR beta 1 in detail, we compared contractility in isolated perfused hearts from...
