Adipose-targeted triiodothyronine therapy counteracts obesity-related metabolic complications and atherosclerosis with negligible side effects

Although thyroid hormone (TH) has anti-obesity potential, systemic administration of TH causes severe adverse effects without obvious weight loss. Here, the authors show that adipose tissue-targeted delivery of TH with liposomes is a safe and efficient strategy to treat obesity and its related compl...

description Although thyroid hormone (TH) has anti-obesity potential, systemic administration of TH causes severe adverse effects without obvious weight loss. Here, the authors show that adipose tissue-targeted delivery of TH with liposomes is a safe and efficient strategy to treat obesity and its related complications in mice.
