Abstract

A paper published in the Journal of Endocrinology, has revisited the hypothesis that thyroid hormones may be generated by tissues outside the thyroid gland in higher organisms, including mammals. This commentary appraises the strengths and weaknesses of the study, the alternative explanations for the findings and possible future measures to investigate further. The concept of extrathyroidal thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) synthesis has been proposed previously; having assumed that Nagao et al and earlier authors are correct, the plausibility and possible mechanisms underlying the hypothesis are discussed.
