Determining the enzymatic activities of iodothyronine 5'-deiodinases in renal medulla and cortex.

Conclusions: Results presented in this study suggest that both cortical and medullary D1 and D2 may be involved in thyroid hormone metabolism. This finding could be of clinical relevance in patients with impaired renal function. (Endokrynol Pol 2013; 64 (3): 182-185). PMID: 23873420 [PubMed - in process]
