correlation between serum t3 resin uptake and serum lipid profile

abstract background and objective: t3 resin uptake test indicates the availability of thyroxin binding globulin (tbg), which is the carrier of a large amount of t3 and t4 in blood. we aimed to study the relationship between serum t3 resin uptake and serum lipids profile. material and methods: the participants aged 14.80 ± 38.29 were both males (59 29.5%) and females (141 70.5 %). t3 resin uptake was measured by immunoassay method and serum lipid profile components (cholesterol, triglycerides, hdl-c, ldl-c, and vldl) were measured by the kit. results: significant negative correlation was observed between serum t3 resin uptake and cholesterol, triglycerides and ldl-c (p≤ 0.05), but that was not the case for hdl-c and vldl. conclusion: serum t3 resin uptake can be evaluated to assess the risk factors related to cardiovascular disorders. keywords: cholesterol, triglycerides, t3 resin uptake, lipoprotein, lipid profile
