T3, T4 and simple obesity

T3, T4 are two types of thyroid hormone secretion, that is, four iodine thyroid acid (abbreviated as T4, which is commonly referred to thyroxine) and triiodothyronine (abbreviated as T1), are collectively known as thyroid hormone , which are iodinated derivatives of amino acids, so are "T" to indicate.

These two kinds of hormones, the role of the body are the main role in promoting enhanced. Increased (hyperthyroidism), the metabolic rate up, catering to increasing consumption also increased at the same time, it is generally thin; the contrary, the lower, then the lower metabolism, metabolic rate, resulting in phenomena such as anorexia, the body fat significantly more than . Patients with simple obesity, under normal circumstances than those of normal, in the investigation of cases, are not aware of T3, T4 low, but relative to body weight, the relative shortage of it. Information and the current study show that the simple obese patients at the end of T3, T4 of the obvious changes. It is interesting to note that the information is proved to the lower thyroid function, and to no obvious obesity, which may be suffering from T3, 1,4 at the same time low in patients with anorexia have symptoms. Also some people, sometimes low thyroid function, cloates (K1otz) found that in 240 obese people and 22% occurred in a low, but the majority of cases, improvement in obesity after the return to normal thyroid function.
