Abstract excerpt
Glucuronidation is a major pathway of thyroid hormone metabolism in rats, involving at least three different hepatic UDP-glucuronyltransferases (UGTs): bilirubin UGT, phenol UGT and androsterone UGT. We have studied the effects of short-term (3 days) fasting and long-term (3 weeks) food restriction to one-third of normal intake (FR33) on hepatic UGT activities for thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), bilirubin...
