Abstract

Acute inflammation is characterized by low serum T3 and T4 levels accompanied by changes in liver type 1 deiodinase (D1), liver D3, muscle D2, and muscle D3 expression. It is unknown at present whether thyroid hormone receptor α (TRα) plays a role in altered peripheral thyroid hormone metabolism during acute illness in vivo. We induced acute illness in TRα-deficient (TRα0/0) mice by administration of a sublethal dose of LPS. Compared with wild-type, TRα0/0 mice have lower basal serum T4 and lower liver D1 activity and muscle D3 mRNA expression, whereas liver D3 activity is higher. These changes are gender specific. The inflammatory response to LPS was similar in WT and TRα0/0 mice. The decrease in serum thyroid hormones and liver D1 was attenuated in TRα0/0 mice, whereas the LPS induced fall in liver D3 mRNA was more pronounced in TRα0/0 mice. Muscle D2 mRNA increased similarly in both strains, whereas muscle D3 mRNA decreased less pronounced in TRα0/0 mice. We conclude that alterations in peripheral thyroid hormone metabolism induced by LPS administration are partly regulated via TRα.

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.
