Timing of liquid LT4 intake doesn’t impact bioavailability
Bioavailability studies presented at ENDO 2022 showed that patients with hypothyroidism can safely take the liquid formulations of levothyroxine (LT4) 15 or 30 minutes before meals, without having to worry about food effect on bioavailability.

HK’s first territory-wide long COVID study to inform follow-up care
Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have rolled out the city’s first territory-wide study of long COVID to inform multidisciplinary follow-up care for thousands of COVID-19 survivors. Participants are also invited to a second-phase 3-year prospective study of the impact of gut dysbiosis on long COVID symptoms and the potential role of gut microbiome modulation in treatment of long COVID.

Thyroid hormone sensitivity tied to advanced liver fibrosis in NAFLD
In euthyroid patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), higher values of thyroid hormone sensitivity markers, such as the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) index (TSHI) and thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), appear to aggravate the risk of advanced fibrosis, a recent study has found.

Low free sugar diet improves clinical biomarkers in NAFLD patients
In overweight/obese patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a low free sugar diet may result in decreased hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, as well as better glycaemic indices and lower concentrations of biomarkers of inflammation, triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels, suggests a recent study.
