Potential interactions between estrogen receptor and thyroid receptors relevant for neuroendocrine systems. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Environmental signals can profoundly affect reproductive behavior, physiology and responses to steroids. One consequence of nutritional or temperature stress is altered plasma concentrations of thyroid hormone. Recent in vivo and in vitro data indicate that manipulations of estrogen and thyroid hormone levels can alter each other's functions. One possible mechanism for interaction may be that thyroid and estrogen receptors bind to parts of the same hormone response elements of target genes and compete with each other, thus serving to integrate environmental signals with neuroendocrine responses.
