Official Title: The Role of Thyroid Status in Regulating Brown Adipose Tissue Activity, White Adipose Tissue Partitioning and Resting Energy Expenditure
Brief Summary:
To determine how thyroid status regulates the relationship between brown adipose tissue (BAT) volume/activity, white adipose tissue (WAT) partitioning and basal metabolic rate (BMR) in hyperthyroid patients transitioning to euthyroidism via antithyroid drugs.
To compare euthyroid outcomes (BAT, WAT, BMR, body composition, body weight and insulin resistance) achieved by hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) set point vs. normal ranges of plasma free thyroxine 4 (FT4) and throxine stimulating hormone (TSH).
