Background: The role of thyroid hormones in diet-induced weight loss and subsequent weight regain is largely unknown. Objectives: To examine the associations between thyroid hormones and changes in body weight and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in a diet-induced weight loss setting. Subjects/Methods:...
