Caloric restriction but not exercise-induced reductions in fat mass decrease plasma triiodothyronine concentrations: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
, 2008 Caloric restriction (CR) decreases circulating triiodothyronine (T(3)) concentration. However, it is not known if this effect is due to body fat mass reductions or due to CR, per se.
