In seeking to educate myself I came across this study which makes some confusing assertions as to the effect of thyroid hormone
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jtr/2011/152850/
Amongst some positive effects it is also claimed that thyroid can:
- decrease glycogen storage
- increase fatty acid oxidation
- cause insulin resistance
- increase HIF1
Is it simply that this is what happens in the absence of adequate fuel, like with caffeine? Is it more complex? Or is it, simply, wrong?
I would be very grateful if someone better informed than me would elucidate!
