High Circulating Thyrotropin Levels in Obese Women Are Reduced after Body Weight Loss Induced by Caloric Restriction
Open accessAbstract
CONTEXT: Previous clinical studies concerning the impact of body weight loss on single plasma TSH concentration measurements or the TSH response to TRH in obese humans have shown variable results. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of weight loss induced by caloric restriction on diurnal TSH concentrations and secretion in obese humans. DESIGN: This was a clinical, prospective, crossover study. SETTING: The study was conducted at the Clinical Research Center of Leiden University Medical Center. PARTICIPANTS: Eleven obese premenopausal women (body mass index, 33.3 +/- 0.7 kg/m2) were studied. INTERVENTION: The study intervention was weight loss (50% reduction overweight by caloric restriction). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Twenty-four-hour plasma TSH concentrations (10-min intervals) and the 24-h TSH secretion rate, calculated by a waveform-independent deconvolution technique (Pulse), were determined. RESULTS: The 24-h TSH secretion rate was significantly higher in obese women than in normal weight controls, and weight loss was accompanied by diminished TSH release (before weight loss, 43.4 +/- 6.4 mU/liter.24 h; after weight loss, 34.4 +/- 5.9 mU/liter.24 h; P = 0.02). Circulating free T3 levels decreased after weight loss from 4.3 +/- 0.19 to 3.8 +/- 0.14 pmol/liter (P = 0.04). Differences in 24-h TSH release correlated positively with the decline of circulating leptin (r2 = 0.62; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Elevated TSH secretion in obese women is significantly reduced by diet-induced weight loss. Among various physiological cues, leptin may be involved in this phenomenon. The decreases in TSH and free T3 may blunt energy expenditure in response to long-term calorie restriction, thereby frustrating weight loss attempts of obese individuals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
