Thyroid Hormone and Energy Expenditure
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most pronounced effects of Thyroid Hormone (TH, Triiodothyronine (T3), Tetraiodothyronine (T4)) is modulation of metabolic efficiency, energy expenditure and calorigenesis. Thus, hypothyroidism results in decreased energy expenditure and basal metabolic rate accompanied by weight gain and cold intolerance, while hyperthyroidism results in hypermetabolism, weight loss despite increased energy intake, intolerance to heat, loss of lean mass, bone resorption and tachycardia. TH role in modulating metabolic efficiency has been realized for over a century but its cellular mode-of-action remained to be resolved.

Hypothalamic thyroid hormone in energy balance regulation.
Thyroid hormone has been known for decades as a hormone with profound effects on energy expenditure and ability to control weight. The regulation of energy expenditure by thyroid hormone primarily occurs via regulation of the activity, or expression, of uncoupling proteins in peripheral tissues. However, mechanistically this requires a signal from the brain to change circulating levels of thyro...
متن کاملStimulation of Thermogenesis via Beta-Adrenergic and Thyroid Hormone Receptors Agonists in Obesity Treatment – Possible Reasons for Therapy Resistance
The imbalance between energy intake and expenditure accompanied by the collapse of mechanisms protecting against the excessive accumulation of energy reserves are considered to be the main causes of obesity [1]. Accordingly, available treatments of obesity are aimed at decreasing calorie intake and/or increasing energy expenditure. However, long-term effects of various non-invasive methods incl...
متن کاملResistance to thyroid hormone is associated with raised energy expenditure, muscle mitochondrial uncoupling, and hyperphagia.
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH), a dominantly inherited disorder usually associated with mutations in thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB), is characterized by elevated levels of circulating thyroid hormones (including thyroxine), failure of feedback suppression of thyrotropin, and variable tissue refractoriness to thyroid hormone action. Raised energy expenditure and hyperphagia are recogn...
متن کاملGlucagon and Thyroid Hormone: A Championship Team
A bioactive peptide that combines glucagon with the thyroid hormone T3 lowers lipid levels, improves glucose tolerance, and promotes energy expenditure to treat symptoms and underlying causes of metabolic disease. The two active components both maximize their combined benefits and mitigate the negative consequences of treatment with each alone.
متن کاملInteractions between the melanocortin system and the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis.
Recent studies of transgenic mice and humans have provided compelling evidence for the importance of the hypothalamic melanocortin system in the regulation of energy balance. Energy homeostasis is a balance between food intake (energy input) and energy expenditure. The melanocortin system regulates feeding via effects of the endogenous agonist, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) a...
