Biological Effects of 3,5-Diiodothyronine (T₂)

This review explores the biological activities of 3,5-diiodothyronine (T₂), a metabolite of thyroid hormones. T₂ stimulates mitochondrial respiration through nuclear-independent pathways, enhancing energy expenditure and oxygen consumption. It influences mitochondrial functions, including oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid oxidation, and modulates enzymes and ion transporters. T₂ also exhibits thyromimetic effects, impacting

Potential therapeutic applications of thyroid hormone analogs

This review explores the development and potential therapeutic applications of thyroid hormone analogs, which are designed to replicate the beneficial effects of thyroid hormones—such as enhanced cardiac function, weight loss, and reduced serum cholesterol—while minimizing adverse effects on the heart, bone, and skeletal muscle. These analogs have been studied for
