RESUMO
Thyroxine (T4) and reverse triiodothyronine are potent inhibitors of brown adipose T4 5'-deiodinase (BAT 5'D). This effect does not require protein synthesis and is due to an acceleration of the rate of disappearance of the enzyme. Growth hormone (GH) also inhibits BAT 5'D but by a mechanism mediated through a long-lived messenger that correlates with growth rate. This explains the failure of BAT 5'D to increase abruptly after thyroidectomy as does the type II 5'-deiodinase in pituitary and central nervous system or the BAT 5'D itself after hypophysectomy. Although virtually inactive when given acutely, triiodothyronine replacement partially reduces BAT 5'D in hypophysectomized and thyroidectomized (Tx) animals probably as a result of improvement of systemic hypothyroidism and an increase in GH levels in the Tx rats. The fine balance between these inhibitory factors and the stimulatory effects of the sympathetic nervous system suggests an important physiologic role for the enzyme in this tissue.
