Calorigenic Effects on Growth Hormone: The Role of Thyroid Hormones
GH administration increases energy expenditure, independent of changes in lean body mass, in healthy, obese, and GH-deficient subjects. This may be casually link to the well known GH-induced increase in peripheral T4 to T3 generation, but experimental data are sparse. In this study we have addressed whether 1) the calorigenic effects of GH administration could be reproduced by oral supplementation of T3 in a dose selected to mimic the GH-induced increase in peripheral T3 levels; and 2) combined GH and T3 administration have a synergistic effect on resting energy expenditure (REE).
