Thyroid response to blocking sympathetic activity in chronic cold-exposed hunters in East Greenland: a case–control study
We hypothesise that when blocking the sympathetic system, TSH increases to uphold the production of T3 needed for maintaining BAT activity. Additionally, alterations of fT3/fT4-ratio support a hypothesis of adrenergic stimulation promoting T3 over T4 secretion from the thyroid via the adrenergic nerve terminals in the thyroid.
