Timing of liquid LT4 intake doesn’t impact bioavailability
Bioavailability studies presented at ENDO 2022 showed that patients with hypothyroidism can safely take the liquid formulations of levothyroxine (LT4) 15 or 30 minutes before meals, without having to worry about food effect on bioavailability.

In euthyroid patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), higher values of thyroid hormone sensitivity markers, such as the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) index (TSHI) and thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), appear to aggravate the risk of advanced fibrosis, a recent study has found.
