Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Liothyronine is a T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.

Product Data
Biological target:
Liothyronine is a potent thyroid hormone receptors TRα and TRβ agonist with Kis of 2.33 nM for hTRα and hTRβ, respectively.
In vitro activity:
A one-week treatment with T3 increased cardiomyocyte size, anisotropy, and sarcomere length. T3 treatment was associated with reduced cell cycle activity, manifest as reduced DNA synthesis and increased expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. Reference: J Mol Cell Cardiol. 2014 Jul;72:296-304. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24735830/
In vivo activity:
The systemic immune response was also explored, and low dose of liothyronine could significantly elicit immune responses by increasing the frequency of CD8+ IFN-γ+ T cells in the tumor draining lymph node but not in the spleen, while high dose of liothyronine could increase the frequency in both tissues (Fig. 6d, e). Thus, liothyronine could suppress tumor growth and stimulate CD8+ T cell response in tumor bearing mice. Reference: Cell Commun Signal. 2020 Sep 7;18(1):142. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32894141/
