“In an attempt to reconcile some apparently contradictory conclusions, it is suggested that, when thyroxine activates oxidation of NADH by peroxidase+H(2)O(2), the diphenyl ether structure is undergoing cyclic deiodination and iodination.”
“When l-thyroxine activates the oxidation of NADH by peroxidase+H(2)O(2), little removal of phenolic-ring iodine atoms becomes apparent until most of the NADH has been oxidized, after which it increases markedly.”
