Tri-iodothyronine (T3) is known to be involved in the regulation of the growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis. In previous studies we demonstrated that IGF-I and GH reduced the metabolic response to T3 measured as the activity of two T3-dependent enzymes, mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPD) and cytosolic malic enzyme (ME) in cultured rat liver cells. In this study we analysed in vivo the effect of IGF-I administered to rats on the activity of alpha-GPD and ME. IGF-I (240 micrograms/100 g body weight (BW) every 12 h for 48 h) significantly diminished alpha-GPD (P &lt; 0.01) and ME (P &lt; 0.05) activities. Serum basal glucose concentration was not significantly modified 12 h after the administration of recombinant human IGF-I (240 and 480 micrograms/100 g BW every 12 h for 48 h). Under similar conditions, no significant change in serum total thyroxine (TT4) concentration was observed, although free thyroxine (FT4) was diminished (P &lt; 0.02) and total T3 (TT3) was increased (P &lt; 0.03). To explore the participation of the nuclear thyroid hormone receptor (THR) in the mechanism of IGF-I action we measured the maximal binding capacity and the affinity constant (Ka) of THR by Scatchard analysis, and concentrations of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that code for the isoforms of THR present in the liver (beta 1, alpha 1 and alpha 2) by Northern blot. IGF-I (240 micrograms/100 g BW every 12 h for 48 h) significantly reduced maximal binding capacity to 37% of the control value (P &lt; 0.01) without changes in the Ka. beta 1, alpha 1 and alpha 2 THR mRNAs were significantly reduced (P &lt; 0.01) by 120-480 micrograms/100 g BW IGF-I administration every 12 h for 48 h. Time-course studies indicated that this effect was obtained 12 h after the administration of 240 micrograms/100 g BW IGF-I (P &lt; 0.05). These results indicate that IGF-I administration to rats diminishes the metabolic thyroid hormone action in the liver by a mechanism that involves, at least in part, a reduction in the number of THRs and in their level of expression.
