Effects of the Thyromimetic Agent Diiodothyropropionic Acid on Body Weight, Body Mass Index, and Serum Lipoproteins: A Pilot Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study

Abstract

This investigation of DITPA actions demonstrated its efficacy in reducing body weight and lowering total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. However, DITPA's adverse effects at doses used resulted in a high dropout rate and potentially dangerous skeletal actions were observed.
