Resetting the THYRoid axis for prevention of AGE-related diseases and co-morbidities (THYRAGE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

We hypothesize that inappropriate thyroid hormone action in target cells is a common mechanism underlying susceptibility to age-related degenerative diseases and co-morbidities. Although regulation of systemic thyroid status is well understood and underpins treatment of common thyroid disease, it is only in the last decade that the importance of local regulation of thyroid hormone action in tissue ...
