When the body temperature is below 98,2 the liver does not manufacture enough enzymes to convert thyroid hormones from T3 to T4, a process that is important for breast growth.

hhmmmm. interesting. i've read many sources which declare the critical importance of iodine for breast health but i hadn't heard about this t3 ––>t4 conversion. do you know why it's important for breast growth.  for all i know it's somewhere here on this forum. 

I did a search and most of the results were in the Bovine Ovary subforum. Does BO cause the thyroid to make hormones and other methods work up other areas?

Can this be why:

It’s important to note that not all of the body’s T4 is converted to T3, however- some remains unconverted. The secretion of T4 is under the control of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which is produced by the pituitary gland. TSH secretion is in turn controlled through release of Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone which is produced in your hypothalamus. So, when T3 levels go up, TSH secretion is suppressed, due to the body’s self regulatory system known as the “negative feedback loop” .

?

so much to know. so little time.

So true
