Abstract
We have recently shown in the rat that the switch from neonatal to adult fast myosin is orchestrated by thyroid hormone (391); it is delayed in hypothyroid animals and switches precociously in hyperthyroid animals. In view of this hormonal effect on the development of fast muscle, we have been interested in other hormonal effects on myosin gene expression.
