Depending on the experimental approach, epinephrine and norepinephrine (NE) can stimulate, inhibit, or fail to act on thyroid function. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of NE on thyroglobulin (Tg) synthesis and gene expression in FRTL-5 cells. Tg content, measured by immunoprecipitation with a s… Show more
