Objective: Serum TSH and thyroid hormone (TH) levels are routinely used as main measures of thyroid function. While these are highly valuable markers, it is becoming more evident that under specific conditions, their predictive power for tissue TH status is limited due to the highly complex nature of tissue-specific TH signaling. This led to a high demand for human tissue TH action markers that could allow the characterization of tissue TH economy. Therefore, our goal was to d...
