Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in the metabolism of glucose, lipids, and proteins—intricate biochemical processes within our bodies. These hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are secreted by the thyroid gland and are stimulated by pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The feedback loop system associated with thyroid hormone production and release significantly impacts the rate at which our cells utilize energy. Their influence spans across nearly every tissue and organ, including the heart, brain, muscles, and digestive system.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and insights into the mechanisms underlying thyroid hormone action, metabolism regulation, and therapeutic interventions. Submissions from researchers and clinicians in the field of endocrinology, biochemistry, and related disciplines are encouraged.
We welcome the submission of original research articles that explore the intricate relationship between thyroid hormone function and metabolism, as well as their implications in diseases such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancer. Pure clinical or model studies will not be suitable for this journal. However, clinical or pure model submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
