  • Title: [Thyroid hormones and lipid metabolism].
    Author: Nikitin VN, Babenko NA.
    Journal: Fiziol Zh (1978); 1989; 35(3):91-8. PubMed ID: 2661274.
    Abstract:
    Some major pathways of lipid metabolism are under control of thyroid hormones. Thyroxine changes the lipid composition of different cell membranes. Modification of thyroid hormone metabolism during ontogenesis is one of the reasons of changes in lipid composition and function of cell nuclei and its other structures. Atherosclerosis and obesity may be a result of the thyroid dysfunction and modulation of the cellular lipid metabolism.
