The Relationship Between Thyroid Function and Body Composition Leptin Adiponectin and Insulin Sensitivity in Morbidly Obese Euthyroid Subjects Compared to Non-obese Subjects

摘要

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) changes in obese people have been studied with increasing interest, however, studies have been inconsistent hence it remains poorly understood. We compared the TFTs of morbidly obese euthyroid Saudi subjects with non-obese controls and then we examined the influence of leptin, adiponectin, and insulin resistance on TFTs.
