SAN DIEGO — Anthony Neil Hollenberg, MD, chief of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School discusses the newest insights into thyroid hormone signaling.

According to Hollenberg, researchers hypothesize that cellular thyroid hormone signaling is different from the level of thyroid hormone in a person’s circulation. Current animal model test results are being used to spur new diagnostic testing in humans. He said the goal is for better diagnostic testing for people with thyroid disease as well as better approaches for treating metabolic disease.
