Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Hypothyroidism is a frequent condition in danish women, but often overlooked. Along with fatigue one of the main symptoms is weight gain as a result to significantly decreased energy expenditure.

This study was undertaken to elucidate changes in glucose, lipid and amino acid turnover in these patients.

1

11 hypothyroid patients, newly diagnosed, examined before and after treatment

Group Type OTHER

L-thyroxine

Intervention Type DRUG

The hypothyroid patients receive usual treatment with L-thyroxine in our out patient clinic. The doctors there subscribe the medication, this study has no protocol regarding this, we observe the patients again after having been biochemically euthyroid for at least two months.

2

10 healthy controls

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
