No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators wish to evaluate the effect of thyroid hormones on brown adipose tissue in humans in an observational study on patients with thyrotoxicosis. In the investigators evaluation the investigators will use FDG-PET/CT, indirect calorimetry and fat biopsies in the acute phase of the disease and in the euthyroid phase after treatment.

It is the investigators hypothesis that high levels of circulating T3 might affect amount and function of brown adipose tissue.
