New paper on thyroid function in different circumstances

[diogenes]

We've got a new comprehensive paper that describes the changes in thyroid function in conditions of strain (exercise, adaptation to cold, pregnancy) and nonthyroidal illness. It's meant to give a comprehensive overarching picture of thyroid function in many conditions so as to make a complete picture. Bit heavy going but some here might feel it worthwhile to read. Its in open format:

Thyroid Allostasis–Adaptive Responses of Thyrotropic Feedback Control to Conditions of Strain, Stress, and Developmental Programming

I got as far as the introduction! I'll try again later and maybe I'll be able to read further!

Have printed it off to read. It's long but looks very interesting.

Thank you. Interesting but complicated if one has not studied biochemistry.... Would an endocrinologist actually be willing to read this article? I wonder...

From a brief scan I am knocked out by the comprehensiveness. Absolutely needs a proper read.

Interesting! For a person whose first language is not English it's always an adventure to dive into this detailed research.

Thank you Diogenes, will read properly when I have the chance. I think it's the first time I've seen a biblical reference in a medical article. The means by which King David's courtiers sought to warm him up is somewhat interesting

Thank you so much for this long but interesting article.
