Adequate thyroid hormone levels are crucial for cell homeostasis in the adult human brain. To supply neuronal and glial cells, thyroid hormone (TH) transporters such as the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) are required. While implications in TH levels in the human brain seem to play a role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), altered expression of TH transporters has not been described yet. Our study therefore aimed to evaluate MCT8 expressi...
