The Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Gene Is Regulated by Thyroid Hormone at the Level of Transcription in Vivo
24 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
The expression of the TRH gene in the paraventricular nucleus (PVH) of the hypothalamus is required for the normal production of thyroid hormone (TH) in rodents and humans. In addition, the regulation of TRH mRNA expression by TH, specifically in the PVH, ensures tight control of the set point of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. Although many studies have assumed that the regulation of TRH expression by...
