BACKGROUND: Endoderm organ primordia become specified between gastrulation and gut tube folding in Amniotes. Although the requirement for RA signaling for the development of a few individual endoderm organs has been established a systematic assessment of i ...

The thyroglobulin (TG) protein is essential to thyroid hormone synthesis, plays a vital role in the regulation of metabolism, development and growth and serves as intraglandular iodine storage. Its architecture is conserved among vertebrates. Synthesis of ...
The influence of development and estrogen, thyroid hormone, corticosteroid, and fibrate administration on apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV mRNA levels in the liver and intestine and on serum or plasma concentrations of apo A-IV was studied in the rat. Treatment o ...
The pharyngeal arches give rise to multiple organs critical for diverse processes, including the thymus, thyroid and parathyroids. Several molecular regulators of thymus and thyroid organogenesis are strikingly conserved between mammals and zebrafish. Howe ...
Recently, it was shown that lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was produced in neonatal but not in adult rat liver. In an attempt to further define the mechanism involved in liver LPL expression, we identified a neonatal mouse hepatoma cell line, BWTG3, capable of p ...
Growing concern about the adverse environmental and human health effects of a wide range of micropollutants requires the development of novel tools and approaches to enable holistic monitoring of their occurrence, fate and effects in the aquatic environmen ...
CONTEXT: The type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) catalyzes the conversion of T(4) to the active form of thyroid hormone, which is a critical regulator of thermogenesis and glucose metabolism. A Thr92Ala polymorphism in the gene encoding D2 (DIO2) has been ...
The development of spinal cord or dorsal root ganglia neurons expressing calretinin (CR) was studied in thyroid hormone-deficient rats. Immunocytochemical and morphometric analyses showed that the hypothyroidism induced a significant decrease in the number ...
Brain development and function are dependent on thyroid hormone (T3), which acts through nuclear hormone receptors. T3 receptors (TRs) are transcription factors that activate or suppress target gene expression in a hormone-dependent or -independent fashion ...
Despite the complex regulation of the expression of these genes, some general conclusions seem to be warranted. First, nearly all the studied genes are regulated in a tissue-specific fashion. Moreover hepatic expression seems to be more tightly controlled ...
