High-affinity agonists for the retinoic acid X receptors (RXR) have pleotropic effects when administered to humans. These include induction of hypertriglyceridemia and hypothyroidism. We determined the effect of a novel high-affinity RXR agonist with potent antihyperglycemic effects on thyroid function of female Zucker diabetic rats and nondiabetic littermates and in db/db mice. In both nondiabetic and ZFF rats, AGN194204 causes a 70-80% decrease in thyrotropin (TSH), 3,3',5-triiodothyronine, and thyroxine (T(4)) concentrations. In the db/db mouse, AGN194204 causes a time-dependent decrease in thyroid hormone levels with the fall in TSH that was significant after 1 day of treatment preceding the fall in T(4) levels that was significant at 3 days of treatment. Treatment with AGN194204 caused an initial increase in hepatic 5'-deiodinase mRNA levels which then fell to undetectable levels by 3 days of treatment and continued to be low at 7 days of treatment. After treatment for 5 days with AGN194204, both wild-type and thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta(-/-))-deficient mice demonstrated a nearly 50% decrease in serum TSH and T(4) concentrations. The results suggest that a high-affinity RXR agonist with antihyperglycemic activity can cause central hypothyroidism independently of TR beta, the main mediator of hormone-induced TSH suppression.
