Adipose Tissue and Skeletal Muscle Expression of Genes Associated with Thyroid Hormone Action in Obesity and Insulin Resistance

Background: Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates metabolic pathways which may interfere with insulin action. There is limited knowledge on adipose tissue (AT) and skeletal muscle (SM) expression of genes associated with TH action in relation to insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to analyze AT and SM expression of the genes associated with TH action in subjects with different degree of insulin sensitivity and the regulation of these genes...
