Iodothyronine deiodinases (EC 1.21.99.4 and EC 1.21.99.3) are a subfamily of deiodinase enzymes important in the activation and deactivation of thyroid hormones. Thyroxine (T 4), the precursor of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T 3) is transformed into T 3 by deiodinase activity.
Thyroid hormones (T 4 and T 3) are produced by the follicular cells of the thyroid gland and are regulated by TSH made by the thyrotropes of the anterior pituitary gland. The effects of T 4 in vivo are mediated via T 3 (T 4 is converted to T 3 in target tissues). T 3 is three to five times more active than T 4.
The sum activity of peripheral deiodinases (G D, also referred to as deiodination capacity, total deiodinase activity or, if calculated from levels of thyroid hormones, as SPINA-GD [a]) is the maximum amount of triiodothyronine produced per time-unit under conditions of substrate saturation. [1]
Thyroid's secretory capacity (G T, also referred to as thyroid's incretory capacity, maximum thyroid hormone output, T4 output or, if calculated from serum levels of thyrotropin and thyroxine, as SPINA-GT [a]) is the maximum stimulated amount of thyroxine that the thyroid can produce in a given time-unit (e.g. one second).
The pituitary gland secretes thyrotropin (TSH; Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) that stimulates the thyroid to secrete thyroxine (T4) and, to a lesser degree, triiodothyronine (T3). The major portion of T3, however, is produced in peripheral organs, e.g. liver, adipose tissue, glia and skeletal muscle by deiodination from
A field trip for special education students to a Cracker Barrel in Maryland this week has resulted in outcry from teachers and parents.. On Tuesday, a group of 11 students and seven staff members ...
On 17 December 2020, Vivo and Zeiss announced a long-term strategic partnership to jointly promote and develop breakthrough innovations in mobile imaging technology. The first "Vivo Zeiss co-engineered imaging system" was featured in the Vivo X60 series. As part of the collaboration agreement, Vivo and Zeiss established the Vivo Zeiss Imaging ...
Best: Nature’s Own Thick-Sliced White Bread. $2.97 . While the majority of the white bread brands I tried were extremely similar, the top two sit in a major league of their own.
