Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone (T(3)) regulates bone turnover and mineralization in adults and is essential for skeletal development. Surprisingly, we identified a phenotype of skeletal thyrotoxicosis in T(3) receptor beta(PV) (TRbeta(PV)) mice in which a targeted frameshift mutation in TRbeta results in resistance to thyroid hormone. To characterize mechanisms underlying thyroid hormone action in bone, we analyzed skeletal...
