Thyroid Hormone exerts key effects on metabolism via its actions on diverse cell types. Central to interpreting its actions is the ability to understand how different tissues integrate and respond to circulating thyroid hormone levels. The use of novel mouse models and metabolite profiling has allowed for a new understanding of how different tissues respond to thyroid hormone to regulate metabolic function.
