Interrelationships between the metabolism of thyroid hormones and the liver. Part one
1D. Danielopolu Institute of Normal and Pathological Physiology, Bucharest.
Abstract:
The paper deals with the biosynthesis of the thyroid hormones and with their metabolism, which takes place in many tissues, mainly in the liver. The liver exerts effects on thyroid hormone distribution, metabolism and disposal. It supplies the thyroglobulin--storage form of thyroid hormones--and the plasma proteins with which they are bound.
