goiter/triglyceride

Twenty-six consecutive patients who presented with clinically euthyroid multinodular goitre were studied for an overnight fasting serum lipid profile and 24 h Holter monitoring. Mean serum TSH was 0.6 +/- 0.4 vs 2.4 +/- 1.3 mU/l (p < 0.0001) and mean TT3 2.4 +/- 0.4 vs 2.0 +/- 0.5 nmol/l (p = 0.009)

Serum total thyroxine (TT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), thyrotrophine (TSH), thyroxine binding globulin (TBG), total lipids, triglycerides, total cholesterol, beta lipoprotein and beta lipoprotein cholesterol level were measured in 68 goitrous subjects and 4 agoitrous cretins by the techniques

An investigation was carried out in to thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4) and lipid parameters (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride) in 136 adolescents (94 femals, average age 13 years). An iodine deficiency (grade II-II) with respect to the daily urine excretion per 1,73

Euthyroid goiter is usually treated with TSH-inhibitory doses of levo-T(4) (L-T(4)). Because triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) decreases TSH levels, the following study was perfomed: 36 euthyroid goitrous female patients (no cancer or chronic thyroiditis) were randomized to TRIAC (19.6 micro g/kg) (n

Thirty Tunisian patients with a voluminous multinodular goiter with cold nodules and inhabiting a region of mild iodine deficiency, have been studied. The 131 I fixation by the thyroid, three hours after ingestion was significatively higher than in normal population. Fourty six per cent of the

A study of the blood plasma content of total cholesterol in 575 healthy persons and 675 patients with diffuse toxic goiter (DTG), and the content of total lipids and triglycerides in 52 healthy persons and 132 DTG patients showed the development of adaptation hyperlipidemia in persons living long in

The are various opinions about the optimal therapy of endemic goiter in adolescents. From 106 patients (75 girls) suffering from endemic goiter 50 patients (group A) were treated with 300 micrograms iodine per day and 56 patients (group B) with 100 micrograms iodine plus 100 micrograms levothyroxine

Euthyroid goiter is usually treated with THS-inhibiting doses of L-thyroxin (L-T4), which can have troublesome adverse effects. It has been suggested that triiodothyroacetic acid (Triac), a TSH suppressor, might have fewer peripheral effects and better tolerability than T4. We therefore compared the

Thyroid nodule (TN) and goiter are two common disorders of the thyroid. Despite their benign nature, both conditions are associated with multiple pathologic conditions including thyroiditis, endocrine dysregulation, and autoimmune disease. In this study we conducted a large-scale epidemiological

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a frequent endocrine disease in women. Nodular goiter and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) are endocrinologic abnormalities that have high prevalence. The purpose of our study was to detect the prevalence of AITD and nodular goiter in patients with PCOS and

This is a case of 51 year-old woman with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus which was diagnosed 1.5 year earlier, obesity with body mass index 32.2 kg/m2, waist circumference of 113 cm, diffuse goiter with neck circumference 40 cm, and hypertension with blood pressure >140/90 mmHg. Since 6 months

A second case of the unique lipid-rich cell thyroid adenoma is described complemented by detailed lipid analysis. New observations were made. The cytoplasm of the tumour cells contained scattered, aggregated sudanophil crystals; under polarized light the frozen, unstained sections exhibited numerous

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between insulin resistance and thyroid pathology in obese patients, and compare the results between insulin-resistant and noninsulin-resistant patients. METHODS Obese/nondiabetic patients, aged 18-70 years, attending the outpatient

The TRH test, using synthetic TRH (TSH-releasing hormone) is the most sensitive test for the assessment of thyroid function. It may show elevated basal TSH and/or an exaggerated TSH response to TRH, despite normal thyroid hormone levels (T4, FT4I, T3). This condition is termed "preclinical

BACKGROUND Higher frequency of autoimmune diseases in patients with Turner's syndrome (TS) compared with the general population has been described. 5 to 10% of cases occur before adolescence. The goal of the study was to determine the prevalence of thyro-peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) in correlation
