Thyroid treatment may not fully restore metabolic health, study finds
NCT ID NCT07616570
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 88 women newly diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) to see if taking levothyroxine to normalize thyroid hormones also improves metabolic health. Researchers measured special proteins called adipokines, which are linked to fat tissue and metabolism, before and after 8 weeks of treatment. The goal was to understand if hormonal recovery means full metabolic recovery.
