1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

    ## dio1-t4-to-t3 DIO1 converts T4 into the active thyroid hormone T3. DIO1 catalyzes outer-ring deiodination of T4 to T3 in functional enzyme-expression experiments. Experimental model: Human liver/kidney cDNA cloning and heterologous enzyme expression. Organism: Human protein in a heterologous expression system Limitations: This reaction alone cannot diagnose hidden tissue hypothyroidism from normal blood tests or quantify benefit from selenium intake.
