Novel Thyroid Hormone Receptor-β Agonist TG68: a polypharmacological approach for the treatment of obesity-associated diseases

Ricardi Caterina , Polini Beatrice , Dettori Cristina , Saponaro Federica , Chiellini Grazia

Obesity is a multifactorial disease in which environmental conditions and genetic factors play an important pathogenic role [1]. Interestingly, some of these obesogenic environmental and genetic conditions are shared with neurodegenerative diseases (NDD). The common biological mechanisms involved in obesity and NDD are insulin resistance, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and oxidative damage, in turn leading to cognitive dysfunction or cell death. In this aspect, a poly-pharmacolog...

The Association of Iodothyronine Deiodinase Gene Polymorphisms and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Does Free T3 Play a Role?

Armağan Turan Cem , Elbasan Onur , Apaydin Tugce , Gozaydınoğlu Buşra , Ilgin Can , Akalan Hande , Yaşar Şirin Duygu , Bircan Rıfat , Ilıksu Gozu Hulya

Introduction: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is caused by a variety of genes, cytokines, receptors, and environmental factors. A series of enzymes known as type 1 and type 2 deiodinases (D1, D2) are in charge of converting thyroxine (T4) into triiodothyronine (T3). It is believed that the low free T3 (fT3) levels caused by D2 polymorphism may result in thyroid autoimmunity through the induction of inflammation. However, iodothyronine deiodinase (DIO) gene polymorphism and H...

Dwarfism of the Laron type with normal high affinity serum growth hormone-binding protein

Chandra Abhishek , Kumar Singh Vijay

Introduction: An autosomal recessive illness called the syndrome of familial GH-resistant short stature is characterized by a phenotype that is similar to that of isolated GH deficiency, but with normal or excessive GH production and decreased IGF-I synthesis. When these individuals are treated with GH, neither growth nor a rise in blood somatomedin/IGF-I activity—the mediator of GH’s growth-promoting effects—are stimulated. This suggests that the cause of the g...
