Will t3 cause muscle loss?

Excessive t3 will cause muscle loss. If you have hypothyroidism and you bring your levels back to normal, it can increase muscle.

That’s because T3 (fT3) is what’s responsible for metabolizing testosterone on the liver.

Overview
The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing both thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and testosterone. T3, the active form of thyroid hormone, is primarily converted from T4 in the liver. The liver also metabolizes testosterone, breaking it down into various products for excretion. While there's a complex interplay between thyroid hormone and liver function, including its impact on lipid metabolism and glucose regulation, there's less direct evidence of T3 specifically metabolizing testosterone in the liver. Instead, the liver's role is more about converting T4 to T3 and then metabolizing testosterone.

The muscle cells will get more energy restored to normal functioning compared to hypothyroid state.
