“…TSH also exhibited significant negative correlation with HDL. Similarly to the present study, Ekinci et al reported significantly low HDL in their obese group compared with non-obese controls, and observed significant negative correlation between HDL and TSH [20]. Significant differences were also determined between these two groups in terms of FPG, insulin, and HbA1c levels, but no difference was found in terms of total cholesterol and triglyceride values.…”

This is further affirmed by increased TSH and free triiodothyronine (T3) in obesity, 9,10 suggesting thyroid dysfunction is allied with fluctuations in body weight and composition. 11 In India, too, thyroid dysfunction affects an estimated population of $42 million people.…”
