BACKGROUND
Clinically overt thyroid dysfunction is associated with alterations in triglyceride (TG) metabolism. The effect of subclinical thyroid disease on very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) kinetics is not known.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to investigate whether subclinical thyroid disease is
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether subclinical hypothyroidism is associated to elevations in serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
From a total population of 1,112 patients with type 2 diabetes screened for thyroid dysfunction (thyrotropin measurement), a group
BACKGROUND
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has been associated with atherosclerosis, but the abnormalities in plasma lipids that can contribute to atherogenesis are not prominent. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that patients with normocholesterolemic, normotriglyceridemic SCH
BACKGROUND
There is an increased prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in patients with obesity. It is unclear if this biochemical abnormality may be a secondary phenomenon of obesity or a real hypothyroid state.
METHODS
A retrospective study of all the morbidly obese patients undergoing
Studies on plasma triglycerides (TG) were performed in 10 nonobese and 16 obese patients with hypothyroidism and in 13 with hyperthyroidism. Nonobese, hypothyroid patients generally had normal levels of TG, but obese patients often had hypertriglyceridemia. In most hypothyroid patients 1-thyroxine
OBJECTIVE
Mild thyroid failure is associated with an increased risk for development of atherosclerosis, but whether subclinical hypothyroidism is related to risk for cardiovascular disease is controversial. The purpose of the present study was to examine a possible association between subclinical
Thyroid hormone modulates the expression of numerous genes that in turn regulate lipoprotein metabolism in vivo. We have examined the thyroid hormone-dependent regulation of apolipoprotein B (apoB) RNA editing in a strain of congenitally hypothyroid mice (Pax8(-/-)) that lacks thyroid follicular
In hyperthyroxinemic and hypothyreotic rats the lipoprotein level in serum was investigated using agarosegel-electrophoresis and changes in serum level of cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids and glycerol were determined. In hyperthyroxinemic animals the beta-lipoproteins were found in the
BACKGROUND
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH), defined as increased TSH serum levels and normal serum free T4 concentrations, has been associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease in adults. Data in children and adolescents are scanty.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of levothyroxine (L-T4) treatment on early markers of atherosclerotic disease in children with mild idiopathic subclinical hypothyroidism (SH).
METHODS
Two-year, open, case-control prospective study.
METHODS
A total of 39 children, aged 9.18±3.56 years, with SH
The influence of hypothyroidism on haemostasis is controversial; both hypocoagulable and hypercoagulable states have been reported. Hypothyroidism has been associated with atherosclerosis; a hypercoagulable state in addition might represent a risk factor for thromboembolic disease. The aim of the
To evaluate the thiol/disulphide homeostasis in children with non-autoimmune subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT).
Thiol/disulphide homeosta sis, involving native thiol (SH), disulphide (SS), and total thiol (SS + SH), was evaluated in 60 children and adolescents who were negative for thyroid
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate lipid profile in children with subclinical hypothyroidism.
METHODS
Forty-six children of both sexes aged between 2 and 9 years old, 17 with subclinical hypothyroidism (study group) and 23 healthy children (control group), were studied. Subclinical hypothyroidism was diagnosed
