Abstract excerpt
Mice deficient in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter Mct8 (Mct8KO) have increased 5'-deiodination and impaired TH secretion and excretion. These and other unknown mechanisms result in the low-serum T(4), high T(3), and low rT(3) levels characteristic of Mct8 defects. We investigated to what extent each of the 5'-deiodinases (D1, D2) contributes to the serum TH abnormalities of the Mct8KO by generating mice with...
