thyroiditis/triglyceride

BACKGROUND The aim of the current trial was to investigate the effect of Vitamin D treatment on metabolic markers in people with Vitamin D deficiency and thyroid autoimmunity. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 65 Vitamin D deficient euthyroid or hypothyroid

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is the measure of platelet size. MPV possibly is a simple way to estimate platelet activity. In this study, we aimed to investigate MPV levels in euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients. Fifty-one euthyroid patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis attending our outpatient

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) has any influence on glycemic control, lipid profile or thyroid volume. METHODS A total of 330 patients with DM1 and AIT (DM1+AIT group) were compared with 309 children with DM1 without AIT

To evaluate the prevalence of dyslipidemia in the population of Hashimoto thyroiditis, we reviewed medical records on the consecutive 1181 cases with adult Hashimoto thyroiditis and 830 cases were adopted for the study. First, the serum TSH level increased and serum free T4 level decreased, slightly

BACKGROUND The influence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with subclinical hypothyroidism or euthyroid status on the alteration of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and GLP-2 levels remains uncertain. METHODS Twenty-four untreated HT patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, 24 euthyroid HT patients, and

The relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) and cardiovascular disease has been one of the most popular topics recently. There is still some controversy concerning its cardiovascular impact and management protocols. Our study aims to investigate the presence of the well known preceding

Asymptomatic autoimmune thyroiditis (AAT), especially prevalent in elderly women and associated with the presence of thyroid antibodies (HT), is recognized as a precursor of hypothyroidism and is an intermediate between euthyroidism and hypothyroidism. This paper is concerned with the possible

The authors recently reported the occurrence of low fasting serum triglyceride (TG) and high free fatty acid (FFA) levels in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. TG estimation in diverse groups of patients with autoimmune disease or hyperactive immune response confirmed the occurrence of a similar

OBJECTIVE Hypothyroidism is associated with changes in appetite and body weight. Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide, and it stimulates appetite and increases food intake. However, the potential relationship between circulating ghrelin levels, hypothyroidism, and thyroid antibodies has not been

Endothelial dysfunction is the important early step in the development of atherosclerosis. Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's thyroiditis and other thyroid disease is one of the risk factors of endothelial dysfunction. The present study tried to investigate the endothelial function and its

OBJECTIVE Hypothyroidism, whether overt or subclinical, has multiple effects on the cardiovascular system. Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) is closely related to cardiovascular disorders and atherosclerosis. Our study aimed to assess EFT thickness and carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) in

BACKGROUND Hashimoto's thyroiditis is associated with serious alterations in serum lipids and glucose homeostasis. The aims of the current study were to evaluate the effect of powdered Nigella sativa on serum lipids, glucose homeostasis and anthropometric variables in patients with Hashimoto's

BACKGROUND Low vitamin D levels have been associated with autoimmune disorders and, then, with the Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis (AT), the most common autoimmune disease. Obesity is characterized by lower vitamin D levels and higher risk to develop autoimmune diseases. The aim of the study was

BACKGROUND Levothyroxine and selenomethionine were found to reduce thyroid antibody titers in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The same effect was produced by intensive statin therapy. The aim of the present study was to assess whether hypolipidemic agents modulate the impact of thyroid

BACKGROUND Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most important cause of hypothyroidism. It is a systemic disease that can even affect the cardiovascular system, by accelerating the atherosclerotic process. Aim of this study was to examine whether autoimmune thyroiditis has an effect on the intima-media
