Abstract excerpt
A key phenotype associated with type 2 diabetes in humans is impaired mitochondrial oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle, a pattern potentially contributing to increased lipid accumulation and impaired metabolic flexibility-in turn, central features of both insulin resistance and diabetes. Since thyroid hormone regulates mitochondrial gene expression and function in skeletal muscle, reductions in T3-mediated...
