Thyroid Disorders: Tiratricol has been investigated for its therapeutic potential in the treatment of thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism and goiter. It acts as a thyroid hormone receptor agonist, which means it can stimulate thyroid hormone receptors and exert effects similar to those of endogenous thyroid hormones.
Metabolic Regulation: Like endogenous thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine or T3 and thyroxine or T4), tiratricol plays a role in regulating metabolism. It can influence basal metabolic rate, energy expenditure, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis. In some cases, tiratricol may be used to help regulate metabolic function in individuals with thyroid disorders or metabolic abnormalities.
Weight Loss: Tiratricol has been studied for its potential role in promoting weight loss and fat loss, particularly in individuals with obesity or metabolic syndrome. It may increase energy expenditure and promote fat oxidation, leading to reductions in body weight and adiposity. However, the use of tiratricol for weight loss purposes is not widely accepted or recommended due to safety concerns and potential side effects.
Research Applications: Tiratricol is also used in scientific research to study thyroid hormone signaling pathways, metabolic regulation, and related physiological processes. Its use in laboratory studies helps researchers better understand thyroid function and develop potential treatments for thyroid disorders, obesity, and metabolic diseases.
Side Effects: Like other thyroid hormone derivatives, tiratricol can cause side effects, especially when used improperly or in excessive doses. Common side effects may include cardiovascular effects such as palpitations, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), and hypertension (high blood pressure). It may also cause hyperthyroidism-like symptoms such as tremors, nervousness, sweating, and heat intolerance. Long-term use of tiratricol may disrupt thyroid function and lead to thyroid hormone imbalances.
Regulatory Status: The use of tiratricol is regulated, and it may require a prescription or be available for research purposes only, depending on the jurisdiction. It is not approved for medical use in all countries, and its use should be supervised by a healthcare professional familiar with thyroid disorders and endocrinology.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
