Gene expression of nuclear thyroid hormone receptors, TRα and TRβ, and plasma membrane integrin αvβ3 in PBMC from healthy donors and from both hyperthyroid and euthyroid GD patients. The mRNA expression levels of (a) THRA and THRB, and (b) ITGAV and ITGB3 in PBMC were determined by real-time PCR. Results are expressed as relative mRNA expression (relative to GAPDH mRNA levels) and referred to the expression level in healthy donors. Determinations were done in triplicate, and means and SEM are shown. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001.
