Thyroid hormones-membrane interaction: Reversible association of hormones with organized phospholipids with changes in fluidity and dipole potential

- Thyroid hormones associate with phospholipids in a reversible mode.
- T3 and T4 alter the membrane fluidity and the dipolar organization in model membranes.
- Thyroid hormones are able to penetrate lipid monolayers supporting high lateral pressure.
- Nongenomic effects of thyroid hormones throughout their interaction with phospholipids.
