Repercussions of hypo and hyperthyroidism on the heart circadian clock.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial gene expression and metabolism fluctuate over the course of the day in association with changes in energy supply and demand. Time-of-day-dependent oscillations in myocardial processes have been linked to the intrinsic cardiomyocyte circadian clock. Triiodothyronine (T3) is an important modulator of heart metabolism and function. Recently, our group has reported time-of-day-dependent rhythms in cardiac T3 sensitivity, as well as, T3-mediated acute alterations on core clock components. Hypo and hyperthyroidism are the second most prevalent endocrine disease worldwide. Considering the importance of the cardiomyocyte circadian clock and T3 to cardiac physiology, the aim of this study was to investigate the consequences of chronic hypo and hyperthyroidism on 24-h rhythms of circadian
