  • Title: Obesity and thyroid function. 2. The effect of prolonged caloric restriction on Achilles tendon reflex values.
    Author: Vondra K, Rath R.
    Journal: Endokrinologie; 1975 Dec; 66(3):332-6. PubMed ID: 1212996.
    Abstract:
    The results obtained are indicative of changes in thyroid function during prolonged caloric restriction. Achilles tendon reflex values were studied in obese individuals under reducing treatment. More pronounced weight loss during the first three months was associated with a shortening of Achilles tendon reflex values, or its values remained unchanged. From the sixth month on a growing percentage of obese patients in our group displayed prolongation of Achilles tendon reflex values coupled with a decrease in weight showed a statistically significant prolongation of Achilles tendon reflex values. Thyreoglobulin given at this stage normalised Achilles tendon values and reinduced weight decrease.
