<p><p>This volume aims to detail the advances in the field of Thyroid hormones (THs), namely T3 and T4, and their nuclear receptor TRs from a conceptual and methodological point of view. Chapters guide readers through a general introduction, TR's engineered mice, human genetics of TRs, control of th
<p>Thyroid hormone plays an important role in development and functional maintenance in the central nervous system. Deficiency of thyroid hormone during fetal and early postnatal life induces abnormal development known as cretinism in humans. However, the molecular mechanism of thyroid hormone actio
<p>Because thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are important regulators of a large number of biological processes-ranging from brain development to control of vision in vertebrates-abnormal functioning of these receptors can have serious medical consequences. In Thyroid Hormone Receptors: Methods and Pr
