The use of a monocarboxylate transporter protein or a functional part, derivative and/or analogue thereof for altering transport of a thyroid hormone or a functional part, derivative and/or analogue thereof across a membrane. The monocarboxylate transporter protein preferably comprises MCT-8. An isolated molecule capable of specifically binding at least part of an MCT protein, at least part of a ligand of an MCT protein, or a nucleic acid encoding the MCT and/or ligand, is also herewith provided. Regulation of the bioavailability of thyroid hormone in a tissue enables interfering with diseases. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound capable of binding the MCT protein or capable of influencing the binding or transporting of a ligand of the MCT protein. Methods for diagnosis and/or treatment of a disease, such as a disorder of thyroid metabolism, non-thyroidal illness, obesity or cardiovascular illness, are also provided, as well as bioassays for identifying or detecting a candidate drug capable of binding to, or influencing at least part of, the MCT protein.

A method for synthesizing N-bromoacetyl-3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine which involves subjecting 3,3', 5-triiodo-L-thyronine to a one-step bromacetylation reaction wherein 3,3', 5-triiodo-L-thyronine and bromoacetyl bromide are refluxed together in a solution of ethyl acetate. After formation the N-bromoacetyl-3,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine is purified by fractionation utilizing high speed countercurrent chromatography. Labeled N-bromoacetyl-3,3'-5-triiodo-L-thryonine may be made by a one-step bromacetylation reaction by reducing either [.sup.125 I]T.sub.3 or [.sup.14 C]T.sub.3 with bromoacetyl bromide.
