Abstract: A transgenic animal model that is suitable for the cell or tissue specific assessing of thyroid hormone (TH) action in vivo is described. The recombinant DNA construct and methods suitable to generate such an animal are also provided. The assessment of TH action is based on a reporter that is dependent on an endogenously expressed thyroid hormone receptor (TR) and coregulators of said receptor.
