Abstract

We have examined the metabolic role of hormone-binding nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (TRs). Mice devoid of all hormone-binding TRs [TR alpha 1(-/-)beta(-/-) (TR-ablated mice)] had slightly decreased body temperature and much decreased basal metabolic rate, were still able to markedly increase metabolic rate in the cold, but were cold intolerant due to inadequate total heat production at low temperatures. A standard norepinephrine test showed that adrenergically induced thermogenesis could not be activated normally in the TR-ablated mice. This was not due to inadequate recruitment of brown adipose tissue, nor to the absence, decreased recruitment or dysfunction of the uncoupling protein-1. However, isolated brown fat cells were 10-fold desensitized, explaining the lack of response to standard adrenergic stimuli; cell culture experiments demonstrated that this desensitization was not an innate effect. Thus, the cold intolerance was probably not due to inadequate sympathetically induced nonshivering thermogenesis. Additionally, the results indicated that no metabolic effects of thyroid hormones could become manifest in the absence of nuclear TRs, that ligand-bound TRs were needed for euthermia and eumetabolism, but that TRs per se were not required for brown adipose tissue recruitment and uncoupling protein-1 gene expression.

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.
