Stimulation of estradiol biosynthesis by tributyltin in rat hippocampal slices.

abstract：:TRH is negatively regulated by T3 both in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and transient transfection models. Mutations in hTR beta 1 genes are associated with the syndrome of generalized resistance to thyroid hormone. To investigate potential effects of mutant TRs on T3 regulation of the hTRH gene, transient ...
