Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormones (TH) are essential for skeletal development and adult bone homeostasis. Their bioavailability is determined by specific transporter proteins at the cell surface. The TH-specific transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) was recently reported as a regulator of bone mass in mice. Given that high systemic triiodothyronine (T3) levels in Mct8 knockout (KO) mice are still able to cause...
