Thyroid hormone crosstalk with nuclear receptor signaling in metabolic regulation
Open accessAbstract
Thyroid hormone influences diverse metabolic pathways important in lipid and glucose metabolism, lipolysis and regulation of body weight. Recently, it has been recognized that thyroid hormone receptor interacts with transcription factors that predominantly respond to nutrient signals including the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, liver X receptor and others. Crosstalk between thyroid hormone signaling and these nutrient responsive factors occurs through a variety of mechanisms: competition for retinoid X receptor heterodimer partners, DNA binding sites and transcriptional cofactors. This review focuses on the mechanisms of interaction of thyroid hormone signaling with other metabolic pathways and the importance of understanding these interactions to develop therapeutic agents for treatment of metabolic disorders, such as dyslipidemias, obesity and diabetes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
