When it's at optimum levels, it acts to reduce total cholesterol and circulating triglycerides (in a natural way) as well as healthy weight loss, fertility, providing energy and disposition for daily activities, better brain performance and a multitude of other benefits. It is important to clarify that every human being needs to produce T3 through its conversion from the T4 produced by the thyroid, throughout their lives, from childhood to old age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, recently another patient told me that her endocrinologist told her (wrongly, of course) that T3 \u201cis useless\u201d, that evaluating it \u201cis nonsense\u201d and that restoring it \u201cis unnecessary and even dangerous\u201d. Here's the tip: beware of health professionals who are out of date or \u201cbased\u201d on low-quality knowledge. The study I show in the figure in this post says it well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cMECHANISM OF ACTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is postulated that thyroid hormone exerts antidepressant efficacy through multiple mechanisms. Depression is associated with neuronal death, so a reduction in stress, atrophy and neuronal death would be associated with an antidepressant effect. T3 has been shown to increase gene expression by increasing levels of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRH) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). There are changes in the sensitivity and transcription of serotonin (5-HT) receptors and possibly an increase in serotonin signaling after T3 administration. T3 administration also led to an increase in basal serotonin levels in the frontal cortex. There is a possible, but unclear, association between T3 and adrenergic transmission and activity of second messenger systems. It has not been shown to increase the concentrations of monoamine metabolites, even in patients whose depression improved after treatment with T3.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>CONCLUSION OF THE STUDY:<\/strong> With proper initial and follow-up safety monitoring, increasing liothyronine (T3) can be a safe and effective treatment for unipolar depression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my practice, I have seen hundreds of patients improve not only from depression, but also from various other symptoms and illnesses, when they improve their lifestyle habits (<a href=\"https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/15habitos\/\">https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/15habitos\/<\/a>), this is very important, and they optimize your hormone levels (including T3, even if replenished in low doses).
