N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) is a rat goitrogen inducing thyroid hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and tumor formation. Little is known about the exact underlying mechanism of action. As thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and type I iodothyronine deiodinase (ID-I) have been established as targets of goitrogenic

Obesity is associated with hyperinsulinemia and elevated concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in adipose tissue. TNF-alpha has been implicated as an inducer of the synthesis of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the primary physiological inhibitor of fibrinolysis, mediated by plasminogen
