Thyroid hormones regulate liver enzymes via thyroid hormone receptors. When the liver is steatotic, hepatic thyroid hormone receptors don’t respond effectively. This results in an intrahepatic hormonal milieu where the liver is essentially hypothyroid. #livertwitter #endotwitter
Thyroid hormone receptor-β plays a key role in hepatic homeostasis including:
✅De novo lipogenesis
✅Fatty acid β-oxidation
✅Mitophagy
✅Mitochondrial biogenesis
✅Cholesterol metabolism
✅Carbohydrate metabolism

Thyroid hormone receptor-β agonism has demonstrated clinical benefits on hepatic lipid metabolism.

Thyroid hormones regulate liver enzymes. When the liver is fatty, thyroid hormones don’t work right. #HepaticHypothyroidism
Hepatic enzymes responsive to #thyroid hormones will slow down when the liver is fatty. Thyroid hormone has a dominant effect on HMG-CoA reductase in the liver which regulates cholesterol levels which is why #hypothyroidism causes high cholesterol. #HepaticHypothyroidism
Thyroid hormone regulates fatty acid β-oxidation in the liver. This is a process that breaks down fat for energy. #NAFLD impedes the process in a viscous cycle where liver fat continues to build up, energy levels plummet, unresponsive to thyroid hormone. #HepaticHypothyroidism
