Thyroid hormones such as 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) and 3,5,3',5'-
tetraiodothyronine (thyroxine, T4) make up a

Deiodinase (monodeiodinase) is a
peroxidase enzyme that is
involved in the
activation or
deactivation of
thyroid hormones.
Types of
deiodinases include:...

iodothyronine the
thyroid gland releases into the bloodstream, at 0.9%;
tetraiodothyronine (levothyroxine, T4)
constitutes 90% and T3 is 9%. However, 95% of...

inhibiting the
enzyme 5'-deiodinase (
