The patent application WO2008106213 describes the beneficial effects of thyroid hormone analogue 3,5 diiodothyropropionic acid (DITPA) such as stimulating weight loss in overweight mammals, lowering of triglyceride and treating metabolic syndrome in humans. The human population of the patients selected

Thyroid hormone has the unique properties of lowering cholesterol in hypothyroid individuals and improving cardiac performance. Beginning in the 1950s, extensive efforts were made to develop thyroid hormone analogs that could utilize the cholesterol-lowering property in euthyroid individuals without affecting

We have used an oligonucleotide microarray to identify genes that are affected by congestive heart failure and those influenced by treatment with DITPA and DITPA in combination with captopril using a rat postinfarction model. The most striking result when comparing

In hypothyroid patients, altered microvascular structure and function may affect mood and cognitive function. We hypothesized that adult male hypothyroid rats will have significantly lower forebrain blood vessel densities (BVD) than euthyroid rats and that treatment with 3,5-diiothyroprionic acid (DITPA)

Widespread thyroid hormone actions offer the possibility of developing selective thyromimetic analogs with salutary metabolic properties. Consequently, effects of diiodothyropropionic acid (DITPA) on body weight, serum lipoproteins, and bone metabolism markers were studied in a prospective, controlled, double-blind 24-wk trial
