Abstract excerpt
Triiodothyronine (T3) is known to play a key role in the function of several tissues/organs via the thyroid hormone receptor isoforms alpha (TRalpha) and beta (TRbeta). We have investigated the effects of GC-24, a novel synthetic TRbeta-selective compound, on skeletal muscle fiber-type determination, cross-sectional area, and gene expression in rat skeletal muscles. For fiber typing, cross sections of soleus and...
