Hypothyroidism is a frequent endocrine disorder with common symptoms of increased cold sensitivity and unintended weight gain, indicating changes in energy expenditure (EE) and response to cold exposure. Thyroid hormones (TH) play an important role for proper function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and cold-induced thermogenesis (CIT) in rodents, but the role of hypothyroidism on CIT in humans is uncertain.
