Overnutrition directly impairs thyroid hormone biosynthesis and utilization, causing hypothyroidism, despite remarkable thyroidal adaptations

Jessica Rampy, Alejandra Paola Torres-Manzo, Kendra Hoffsmith, Matthew A. Loberg, Quanhu Sheng, Federico Salas-Lucia, Antonio Carlos Bianco, Rafael Arrojo e Drigo, Huiying Wang, Vivian Lee Weiss, Nancy Carrasco

This study shows overnutrition causes hypothyroidism in mice by impairing thyroid hormone biosynthesis and utilization, despite thyroid adaptations, and finds a link between BMI and thyroid vascularization in humans.
