=== Reduced Thyroid Hormones === | |||
Plasma levels of thyroid hormones [[Triiodothyronine]] (T<sub>3</sub>), [[Thyroxine]] (T<sub>4</sub>), and [[Thyrotropin|Thyroid-stimulating Hormone]] (TSH) were measured in [[Rhesus Monkey|Rhesus monkeys]] (''Macaca mulatta'') subjected to a 30% CR (caloric restriction) diet. The plasma T<sub>3</sub> level decreased compared to the control group. Given the impact of the thyroid axis on metabolism, this could be a mechanism through which a CR diet mediates its health benefits.{{pmid|12189585}} | |||
