Alterations of lipid profile in subclinical hypothyroidism

[1] Furthermore, known that alterations in thyroid function result in changes in the composition and transport of lipoproteins. [...]thyroid dysfunctions are associated with dyslipidemia. [6] Hence, the present study was focused to find whether same changes exist in SCH also or not. [...]it is hypothesized that similar dysfunctions with decreased severity would occur in SCH. Correlation coefficient r = 0.95 which suggests strong correlation [Figure 5]. [...]we found strong positive correlation between TSH and TG and also between TSH and VLDL levels. [10] CONCLUSION We conclude that even in SCH, the increase in TSH level increases the lipid parameters mainly TG, LDL, and VLDL. [...]they are more prone to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular risk.
