Introduction:
Thyroid hormone (TH) action in the central nervous system (CNS) is essential for proper brain development and function. While TH is released from the thyroid gland into the bloodstream, its uptake by target organs must be facilitated by a complex array of different TH transporters. To reach neuronal cells, TH must be transported across multiple cell membrane barriers (endothelium, pericytes, astrocytes, neurons) of the neurovascular unit that protects the CNS cells. – Once in the intracellular compartment, TH…
