mechanisms behind this correlation are not fully understood. Since TTF-2 plays a critical role as mediator between extracellular inputs in the maintenance of thyroid-specific gene expression, we hypothesized that it could play a role in adipocyte signaling on

signaling at the post-receptor level plays a crucial role in GH-induced insulin resistance ( Dominici et al. 2005 , Olarescu & Bollerslev 2016 , Kim & Park 2017 ). Changes in the myocardial sensitivity to insulin action affect cardiac metabolism and
