General description

Reverse T3, also known as rT3 or 3,3′,5′-Triiodo-L-thyronine, is a biologically inactive form of the thyroid hormone T3 and is produced in the body particularly during periods of stress. Under certain conditions such as fibromyalgia, liver disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), more rT3 is produced which minimizes the desirable conversion of thyroxine (T4) to T3. Reverse T3 serum concentrations are measured by LC-MS/MS to monitor impact of these and other diseases on thyroid hormone levels.

Young birds, in their post-natal growth period, may reduce their growth and metabolism when facing a food shortage. To examine how such responses can be mediated by endocrine-related factors, we exposed Japanese quail chicks to food restriction for either 2

Thyroid hormones (THs) have a wide variety of essential roles in vertebrates, ranging from the regulation of key metabolic processes to cell proliferation and apoptosis. The classical mechanism of action of THs is genomic; 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) binds to specific nuclear

Little is known about the kinetics and metabolism of thyroid hormones in the hypothyroid state. To investigate these factors, we developed a reliable method for measurement of serum thyroxine (T(4)), triiodothyronine (T(3)), reverse-T(3) (rT(3)) and stable isotope-labeled T(4) ([(13)C(9)]T(4)), using

Iodothyronines influence lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Previous studies demonstrated that 3,5-l-diiodothyronine (T(2)), as well as 3,3',5-L-triiodothyronine (T(3)), was able to both prevent and reverse hepatic steatosis in rats fed a high-fat diet, and this effect depends on a direct
