1- or -
-deficient mice

The specific role of each subtype of thyroid hormone
receptor (TR) on skeletal muscle function is unclear. We have therefore studied kinetics of isometric twitches and tetani as well as fatigue resistance in isolated soleus muscles of R-
1- or
-
-deficient mice. The results show 20-40% longer contraction
and relaxation times of twitches and tetani in soleus muscles from
TR-1-deficient mice compared with their wild-type
controls. TR--deficient mice, which have high thyroid hormone
levels, were less fatigue resistant than their wild-type controls, but
contraction and relaxation times were not different. Western blot
analyses showed a reduced concentration of the fast-type sarcoplasmic
reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCa1) in
TR-1-deficient mice, but no changes were observed in
TR--deficient mice compared with their respective controls. We
conclude that in skeletal muscle, both TR-1 and TR-
are required to get a normal thyroid hormone response.
