Journal ArticleDOI

Type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase is the major source of plasma T3 in euthyroid humans

TL;DR: Impairment of D2-generated T3 is the major cause of the reduced T3 production in the euthyroid sick syndrome, and it is suggested that generation of nuclear T 3 is an intrinsic property of the D2 protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of thyroid hormone in testicular development and function.

TL;DR: The current review aims at presenting an updated picture of the recent advances made regarding the role of thyroid hormones in male gonadal function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The type 2 deiodinase A/G (Thr92Ala) polymorphism is associated with decreased enzyme velocity and increased insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The A/G polymorphism is associated with greater insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and with lower D2 velocity in tissue samples, suggesting that the D2-generated T(3) in skeletal muscle plays a role in insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type 3 lodothyronine deiodinase: cloning, in vitro expression, and functional analysis of the placental selenoenzyme.

TL;DR: The conservation of this enzyme from Xenopus laevis tadpoles to humans implies an essential role for regulation of thyroid hormone inactivation during embryological development.
