Background: Optimal production of cellular energy and metabolites in mitochondria is one of the most important factors in endocrine organs that accomplish the momentary adaptation to ligand stimulation, such as insulin secretion and aldosterone biosynthesis. Although it has been suggested that thyroid gland function is also largely dependent on mitochondrial function, functional behavior of thyroid gland on compromised mitochondrial function remained to be identified. In this ...
