Thyroid response to blocking sympathetic activity in chronic cold-exposed hunters in East Greenland: a case–control study by Mette Motzfeldt Jensen, Charlotte Elberling Almasi, Hans Christian Florian-Sørensen, Stine Linding Andersen, Stig Andersen

“…Conclusion: We speculate that when blocking the sympathetic system, TSH increases to uphold the production of T3 needed for maintaining BAT activity. In addition, alterations of fT3/fT4 ratio support a hypothesis of adrenergic stimulation promoting T3 over T4 secretion from the thyroid via adrenergic nerve terminals in the thyroid.…”
