REASONABLE TIME TO GO FOR THYROID TEST

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

Since thyroid test is a hormonal test I have seen pathologist and doctors saying to come empty stomach and before 10 am to give the blood sample for thyroid profile test. Why is it so? I also went for parathyroid test and the doctor told me to give the sample in the morning around 7 am.
