Upper Normal Limit of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone and Metabolic Syndrome in Iranian Patients with Obesity

upper normal limit of thyroid-stimulating hormone and metabolic syndrome in iranian patients with obesity

background:the current study aimed at evaluating the association between thyroid-stimulating hormone (tsh) level in upper normal limits with metabolic syndrome, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and its components according to adult treatment panel iii of national cholesterol education program. methods: the current cross sectional study recruited 82 patients with euthyroid over...

Relationship between thyroid stimulating hormone and metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese children

Background: Background: Obesity, especially central obesity is related to many endocrine abnormalities, such as thyroid dysfunctions. Elevated levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is common in obese children, however, it is not clear if such condition is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors. The study aimed to determine the association between levels of TSH in overweight...

Upper limit of normal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone: a moving and now an aging target?

Serum TSH measurement is the most sensitive screening test for thyroid dysfunction and for the diagnosis of subtle forms of hyperand hypothyroidism (1). Serum TSH has a loglinear relationship with circulating thyroid hormone levels; thus a small change in peripheral thyroid hormone concentrations, even within the normal laboratory reference range, may result in an increase or decrease in serum ...

Upper limit of the normal range for thyrotropin-stimulating hormone is higher with increasing age [Corrigendum]

Correspondence: Oscar MP Jolobe 1 Philip Godlee Lodge, 842 Wilmslow Road, Manchester M20 2DS, UK Tel +44 16 1448 9034 Email [email protected] To the editor The assertion that aging is associated with a decreasing concentration of thyrotropin-stimulating hormone (TSH) in healthy elderly humans appears to be at odds with the observation that “TSH distribution shifts towards higher concentra...

Relationship of thyroid-stimulating hormone with metabolic syndrome in a sample of euthyroid Pakistani population.

BACKGROUND Metabolic Syndrome is a group of factors that predispose to cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is rising rapidly. Recently, a few studies have suggested that lower thyroid function in the reference range may be associated with metabolic syndrome, but the issue remains unsettled. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between thyroid function and components ...
