In 2004, we reported the discovery of a new signaling molecule chemically related to thyroid hormones called 3-iodothyronamine (T1AM). T1AM is formally a decarboxylated and deiodinated derivative of thyroxine (T4) and was detected in tissues and circulation of rodents. Single-dose administration of T1AM to mice resulted in unique biological activities including hypothermia, bradycardia, and hyperglycemia. The T1AM-induced ...
