## Abstract The trace elements iodine and selenium (Se) are essential for thyroid gland functioning and thyroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism. While iodine is needed as the eponymous constituent of the two major thyroid hormones triiodo‐L‐thyronine (T3), and tetraiodo‐L‐thyronine (T4), Se is

## Abstract Thyroid hormone (TH) is an important regulator of mitochondrial content and activity. As mitochondrial content and properties differ depending on muscle‐type, we compared mitochondrial regulation and biogenesis by T3 in slow‐twitch oxidative (soleus) and fast‐twitch mixed muscle (planta
The effects of a thyroidectomy and thyroxine (T 4 ) replacement on the spontaneous and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated secretion of testosterone and the production of adenosine 3Ј,5Ј-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in rat testes were studied. Thyroidectomy decreased the basal levels of pla
The influence of thyroid hormone administration on liver glutathione (GSH) extraction in the isolated perfused liver was studied in fed rats for a period of 1-7 days following a single dose of 0.1 mg 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3)/kg. T3 treatment led to an early and transient calorigenic response, as
