Are Resting Metabolic Rate and Clinical Symptoms Affected by Variation of Serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Levels within the Normal Range in Healthy and Women with Hypothyroidism? A Case-Control Study

It is unclear whether variation in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels within the reference range affect energy expenditure and clinical symptoms and even within the normal range of TSH levels, resting energy expenditure may alter. The aim of the present study was to determine whether treated hypothyroid subjects and healthy subjects with a low-normal TSH range (0.3 –2.3 mIU/L) have better clinical outcomes and increased energy expenditure than those with a high-normal TSH range (2.3–4.3 mIU/L).
