The deiodination of thyroid hormones in extrathyroidal tissues plays an important role in
modulating thyroid hormone action. The type II deiodinase (DII) converts thyroxine to the …

Thyroid hormones control growth, development, differentiation and metabolism in
vertebrates. Most of the actions of the active thyroid hormone T3 (3, 5, 3′-triiodo-l …

To identify the specific locations of type 2 deiodinase (D2) messenger RNA (mRNA) in the
hypothalamus and pituitary gland and determine its regulation by thyroid hormone, we …

Micronutrients, mostly iodine and selenium, are required for thyroid hormone synthesis and
function. Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones and its deficiency is …

Apart from the essential trace element iodine, which is the central constitutent of thyroid
hormones, a second essential trace element, selenium, is required for appropriate thyroid …

Selenium as a biologically active element lends much support to health maintenance and
disease prevention. It is now presenting pleiotropic effects on therapy and drug delivery. In …

In the present review, the ongoing researches about selenium research in fish nutrition have
been comprehensively discussed. Selenium research is getting popularity in fish nutrition as …

Abstract Type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase (D3) is a selenoenzyme that inactivates thyroid
hormone. It is necessary for T3 homeostasis in the central nervous system. D3 activity has …

Thyroid hormone synthesis, metabolism and action require adequate availability of the
essential trace elements iodine and selenium, which affect homeostasis of thyroid hormone …

The type III iodothyronine deiodinase metabolizes the active thyroid hormones thyroxine and
3, 5, 3'-triiodothyronine to inactive compounds. Recently, we have characterized a Xenopus …
