Background: In obesity, the expression level of thyroid stimulating hormone receptor in adipose tissue is reduced and the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are often elevated within the normal range.
Purpose/aim: To investigate the role of TSHR in brown and white adipose tissue (AT) using TSHR knockout (KO) mice and the physiological phenotypes affected by the TSHR knockout.
Methods: AT-specific TSHR KO male mice and wild type (WT) controls were given a high-fat diet (HFD) or a control diet (CD).

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates adipocyte lipolysis, but signal transduction pathways activated by TSH for this response have not been directly studied. Using differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes as well as primary human adipocytes, we characterized the lipolytic action of TSH with dose-response and time-course studies, and compared it with isoproterenol. Thyroid-stimulating hormone stimulated phosphorylation of perilipin and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL).

Ovine growth hormone at 1, 5 and 25 micrograms/ml stimulated lipolysis (P less than .05) of chopped rat adipose tissue and isolated rat adipocytes incubated in the presence of 100 mU/ml adenosine deaminase and .

About 10 days after initiating differentiation, a maximally effective concentration of insulin (100 pM) increased particulate cAMP phosphodiesterase activity 40 to 60% in 8 min; activation persisted for at least 30 min in the presence of insulin. Incubation of adipocytes for 6-8 min with agents that increased cAMP, e.

The study included 21 hypothyroid patients who were substituted with gradually increasing doses of thyroxine (T4) and studied repeatedly for up to 20 or 32 weeks. The different peripheral organ functions were compared with regard to the dose and duration of substitution necessary for a 50% therapeutic effect.
