Effect of administration of triiodothyronine on aspartate aminotransferase in pyridoxine-deficient rats. 1984

M Okada, and M Ikeda

The state of thyroid function and the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) administration on aspartate aminotransferase isozymes in the livers of rats fed on a diet with or without pyridoxine were examined. Decreased thyroid function in pyridoxine-deficient rats was demonstrated using malic enzyme as a marker of thyroid function in the liver. Administration of T3 increased cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase in the liver of pyridoxine-deficient rats, but not of control rats.

D008930	Mitochondria, Liver	Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

D013961	Thyroid Gland	A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

D014284	Triiodothyronine	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.
