The Claim

The circadian rhythms of circulating thyroid hormones T3 and T4 in humans cannot be fully explained by isolated circadian regulation of thyroidal hormone production, extrathyroidal conversion, tissue metabolism, or thyroid hormone binding protein dynamics, indicating that no single mechanism is sufficient to account for the observed hormonal patterns.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Your body's daily rhythm of thyroid hormones isn't caused by just one thing—like the thyroid working on a schedule or how the hormone moves through your blood. It's more complicated than that.

See the scientific wording

The circadian rhythms of circulating thyroid hormones T3 and T4 in humans cannot be explained by isolated circadian regulation of thyroidal hormone production, extrathyroidal conversion, tissue metabolism, or thyroid hormone binding protein dynamics alone, indicating that no single mechanism is sufficient to generate observed hormonal patterns.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: PBK Modeling of Thyroid Hormone Circadian Rhythm: Elucidating Thyroidal and Extrathyroidal Contributions to Thyroid Hormone Chronobiology

    The study found that no one process in the body can explain the daily patterns of thyroid hormones—instead, multiple processes working together are needed, which supports the claim.
