Serum Leptin Levels and Bioelectrical Impedance Assessment of Body Composition in Patients with Graves' Disease and Hypothyroidism

We investigated whether thyroid status modulates serum leptin concentrations and body composition as determined by bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA). The percent body fat mass (%FM) in male Graves' disease was significantly lower than that in age- and sex- matched normal subjects, at the lev...

Zusammenfassung:	We investigated whether thyroid status modulates serum leptin concentrations and body composition as determined by bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA). The percent body fat mass (%FM) in male Graves' disease was significantly lower than that in age- and sex- matched normal subjects, at the levels of 11.4±6.4% (mean±SD) vs 19.9±9.2% for men (n=12, P
