Treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) improves insulin sensitivity in patients with end-stage renal disease, and animal studies indicate that Epo increases fat oxidation. However, the metabolic effects of rHuEpo have never been experimentally studied in healthy humans. The aim was

Thyroid hormone (L-3,3',5-triiodothyronine, T(3)) exerts calorigenic effects by accelerating mitochondrial O(2) consumption through transcriptional activation of respiratory genes, with consequent increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. In the liver, ROS generation occurs at different si

… This study showed that BMR is an important factor in determining the phenotype of cold tolerance, and that individuals with a low BMR showed calorigenic-type cold adaptation, whereas subjects with a high BMR exhibited adiabatic-type cold adaptation by peripheral vasoconstriction. …

… temperature (40.5-41.0°C) for at least 6 hrs during the experimental period, and two third of birds survived for more than 2 days after cold treatment.The present results showed that the period of 18-24 hours was required to bring about a successful effect of intramuscularly injected T4 on the maintenance of normal body temperature and survivability of thyroidectomized chicks which were exposed to cold environment, suggesting that full calorigenic action of injected T4 may also be prerequisite for thyroid-removed birds being exposed to cold …
