=== Reduced Thyroid Hormones === | === Reduced Thyroid Hormones === | ||
Plasma levels of thyroid hormones Triiodothyronine (T<sub>3</sub>), Thyroxine (T<sub>4</sub>), and Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) were measured in 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}} | Plasma levels of thyroid hormones Triiodothyronine (T<sub>3</sub>), Thyroxine (T<sub>4</sub>), and Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) were measured in Rhesus monkeys (''Macaca mulatta'') subjected to a 30% CR (caloric restriction) diet.
