Jevning, R.; Wells, I.; Wilson, A. F.; and Guich, S. Plasma thyroid hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone, and insulin during acute hypometabolic states in man. Physiology & Behavior 40: 603–606, 1987.
Transcendental Meditation practice was found to have both short- and long-term effects on thyroid function, suggesting more efficient neuroendocrine regulation.
