Although very minor amounts of selenium appear sufficient for adequate activity
of deiodinases, thus limiting the impact of its potential deficiency on synthesis of thyroid hormones, selenium status appears to have an impact on the development of thyroid pathologies.
Due to a unique make - up
of deiodinases in the pituitary, it will respond differently and often opposite to that of every other tissue in the body.
Because it is the activity
of these deiodinases and transport of T4 and T3 into the cell that determines tissue and cellular thyroid levels and not serum thyroid levels, serum thyroid hormone levels may not necessarily predict tissue thyroid levels under a variety of physiologic conditions.
[Laura Sittig et al., «Strain - specific vulnerability to alcohol exposure in utero via hippocampal parent - of - origin expression
of deiodinase - III»]
«DNA methylation is a key mechanism by which day length and melatonin levels exert seasonal control over the expression
of the deiodinase enzyme known as dio3, and dio3 expression likely acts as a key step for the maintenance of reproductive competency during the breeding season,» said co-author Tyler Stevenson, senior lecturer at the Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
The activity of each type
of deiodinase enzyme changes in response to differing physiologic conditions, and this local control of intracellular T4 and T3 levels results in different tissue levels of T4 and T3 under different conditions.

With so many

To accurately assess thyroid function, it must be understood that
deiodinase enzymes are essential control points
of cellular thyroid activity that determine intracellular activation and deactivation
of thyroid hormones.
The T3 hormone is known as the «metabolically active» hormone and is produced by the conversion
of the «metabolically inactive» T4 hormone (by the
deiodinase system).

of leptin resistance restored
deiodinase activity except in the presence
of elevated reverse T3 (86).

One
