INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ALTERATIONS ON THE PERIPHERAL TRANSPORT AND METABOLISM OF THYROID HORMONE

Abstract

Studies performed during the completed tenure of this contract have been principally directed toward the following objectives: Identification, purification and characterization of the thyroxine-binding proteins of the plasma and elucidation of their physiological role andABERRATIONS IN DISEASE STATES; INVESTIGATION OF THE INTRACELLULAR MECHANISM FOR THE DEGRADATION OF THE THYROID HORMONES AND OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HORMONAL DEGRADATION AND ACTION; INVESTIGATION OF THE MECHANISM OF THYROID HORMONE BIOSYNTHESIS AND ITS REGULATION BY INTERMEDIARY METABOLISM OF THE THYROID. Specific findings in these studies have been de cribed. (Author)
