Abstract excerpt
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) syndrome is an inherited inability to respond appropriately to T3 hormone. In generalized RTH, the T3 response of both the pituitary and periphery is disrupted. In pituitary (or central) RTH, the ability of the pituitary to sense (and down-regulate) elevated T3 is selectively impaired, whereas the periphery remains relatively T3 responsive, resulting in peripheral...
