Thyroid Hormone and Tissue Repair: New Tricks for an Old Hormone?
Figure 1
Langendorff recordings of left ventricular pressure (LVP) from isolated rat hearts subjected to zero-flow global ischemia followed by reperfusion (a) and hearts subjected only to stabilization (b). Triiodothyronine (T3) administration at reperfusion improves postischemic recovery of function, whereas T3 during stabilization does not affect contractile function.
