    RCT NEJM (33 patients hypothyroïdiens) : association T4 + T3 (12,5 mcg) supérieure à T4 seule sur l'humeur, la cognition et la satisfaction — démontre l'effet biologique direct du T3 (liothyronine), forme active de l'hormone thyroïdienne.

    Guideline ETA (European Thyroid Association) : usage du T3 en supplémentation est physiologiquement plausible mais cliniquement controversé — pas de bénéfice systématique vs T4 seule, recommandation d'usage uniquement chez sous-populations sélectionnées, dose équivalente 1/3 de la dose T4.

    Revue mécanistique JCI sur les déiodinases : la T3 est la forme biologiquement active, la conversion T4 → T3 est régulée localement — l'administration directe de T3 court-circuite cette régulation, provoquant une suppression durable de l'axe HPT (TSH supprimée).
