These were repeated after 12 wk on each of the study arms.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Mean TSH levels decreased from 2.15 to 0.17 mU\/liter on the subclinical thyrotoxicosis arm (P &amp;lt; 0.0001), with normal mean free T4 and free T3 levels. The SF-36 physical component summary and general health subscale were slightly worse during the subclinical thyrotoxicosis arm, whereas the mental health subscale was marginally improved. The POMS confusion, depression, and tension subscales were improved during the subclinical thyrotoxicosis arm. Motor learning was better during the subclinical thyrotoxicosis arm, whereas declarative and working memory measures did not change. This improvement was related to changes in the SF-36 physical component summary and POMS tension subscales and free T3 levels.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: We found slightly impaired physical health status but improvements in measures of mental health and mood in l-T4 treated hypothyroid subjects when subclinical thyrotoxicosis was induced in a blinded, randomized fashion. Motor learning was also improved. These findings suggest that thyroid hormone directly affects brain areas responsible for affect and motor function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2007-1957","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,20]],"date-time":"2008-02-20T04:09:35Z","timestamp":1203480575000},"page":"1730-1736","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Health Status, Mood, and Cognition in Experimentally Induced Subclinical Thyrotoxicosis"],"prefix":"10.1210","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"M.
