3,5-Diiodothyronine: A Novel Thyroid Hormone Metabolite and Potent Modulator of Energy Metabolism

This review explores the metabolic effects of 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine (3,5-T2), an endogenous thyroid hormone metabolite. In rodent models, exogenous 3,5-T2 administration rapidly increases resting metabolic rate and induces beneficial hypolipidemic effects. The mechanisms are primarily non-genomic, targeting mitochondria to enhance oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid oxidation. While some thyroid hormone receptor-mediated

Hungry runners – low energy availability in male endurance athletes and its impact on performance and testosterone: mini-review

This mini-review examines the impact of low energy availability (LEA) on male endurance athletes, highlighting its association with decreased testosterone levels, reduced bone density, and suppressed resting metabolic rate. LEA, resulting from insufficient energy intake relative to expenditure, can impair recovery, adaptation, and performance. The review discusses the prevalence of
