This research explores how obesity affects thyroid hormone regulation and the impact of weight loss on thyroid function.
Investigated thyroid hormone levels in individuals with obesity and varying weights.
Examined structural thyroid changes and their relation to weight loss interventions.
Reviewed emerging therapies and their effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis.
Individuals with severe obesity showed non-autoimmune hyperthyrotropinemia, with increased TSH levels (p<0.05).
Weight loss interventions led to TSH reductions with variable effects on free thyroid hormones.
Emerging therapies, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists, may modulate the HPT axis, though more data is needed.
