@alfredoolivas said in The pro-thyroid effects of ethanol (lowered TSH & reverse T3, increased uptake and thyroid receptor expression):
A possible mechanism for this effect is ethanol’s interaction with the thyroid system. Rather than increasing thyroid hormone secretion, ethanol appears to remove obstacles in the thyroid hormone pathway, allowing more of it to enter cells and activate its receptor.
Firstly, in humans, ethanol appears to lower TSH without affecting circulating thyroid hormone levels. This suggests that it increases the thyroid gland’s sensitivity to TSH signals.
Great thread. Just don't forget to pay the piper.
There may be other ways to "remove obstacles" if and while a debt is paid.
