Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryLiver fat content16 weeks
To ascertain whether administration of LT4 for 16 weeks by titrating the serum TSH to 0.34 mIU/L - 1.7 mIU /L reduces liver fat content by at least 3% among patients with type II DM as measured by functional MRI.
SecondaryHbA1c16 weeks
To ascertain whether administration of LT4 for 16 weeks by titrating the serum TSH to 0.34mIU/L - 1.7 mIU/L can improve glycemic control in Type II diabetic patients with NAFLD measured by reduction in HbA1c.
SecondaryLipid profile16 weeks
To ascertain whether administration of LT4 for 16 weeks by titrating the serum TSH to 0.34mIU/L - 1.7 mIU/L can improve serum lipid profile in Type II diabetic patients with NAFLD as measured by total serum cholesterol, HDL, LDL and total triglycerides.
SecondaryAbdominal fat16 weeks
To ascertain whether administration of LT4 for 16 weeks by titrating the serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to 0.34 mIU/L - 1.7 mIU /L reduces the proportion of liver fat over body fat, which is reflected by fat in abdominal subcutaneous and visceral tissues, among patients with type II diabetes as measured by functional MRI on abdomen.
