Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To understand how thyroid hormone (TH) regulates tissue-specific gene expression in patients with the syndrome of resistance to TH (RTHβ), we used a mouse model that replicates the human RTHβ, specifically the ∆337T mutation in the thyroid hormone receptor β (THRβ). MAIN METHODS: We investigated the expression of key TH target genes in the pituitary and liver of TRβ∆337T and wild type THRβ mice by qPCR...
