Abstract
Obese subjects [6] were studied over a period of 12 wk while on a 1260 kJ (300 kcal) formula diet. Weight loss was initially rapid, but later slowed markedly despite patient compliance. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) fell in all patients during the study. Plasma triiodothyronine [T3] fell in all patients, while the plasma half-life of thyroxine increased. Plasma thyroxine, reverse T3 and the serum prolactin and thyrotropin response to thyroliberin all showed no significant change.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
