TSH and free triiodothyronine concentrations are associated with weight loss in a lifestyle intervention and weight regain afterwards in obese children

This prospective study investigated the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and weight changes in 51 obese children undergoing a 1-year lifestyle intervention. The study found that higher baseline thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were associated with greater weight loss during the intervention, while higher free triiodothyronine (fT3) levels correlated with weight

[Effects of various contraceptives on laboratory parameters in diagnosis of thyroid gland function with special reference to the free hormones FT4 and FT3]

This observational study examined the effects of various contraceptives on laboratory assessments of thyroid function, focusing on free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels. The findings indicate that contraceptive use, particularly those containing estrogen, can influence thyroid hormone measurements by increasing thyroid-binding globulin levels, potentially altering free hormone concentrations.
