Thyroid Hormones: Effects and Binding

  • Chapter
Hormones and Lung Maturation

Part of the book series: Monographs on Endocrinology ((ENDOCRINOLOGY,volume 28))

Abstract

The effects of thyroid hormones on postnatal growth, differentiation, and metabolism are well known. It is also recognized that thyroid hormones and glucocorticoids have complementary, and sometimes synergistic, effects on specific enzymes in several organs. Given this background information, it is not surprising that thyroid hormones were evaluated for effects on lung maturation and function shortly after recognition of glucocorticoid action. In this chapter I review the action of thyroid hormones in fetal and postnatal lung, describe properties of pulmonary T3 receptors and the correlations between binding and effect, and discuss preliminary information regarding clinical application.
