Correlation between Thyroid Stimulating Hormone and Cholesterol and Triglyceride level in Udaipur Population
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
A series of studies reported that a high level of TSH was associated with a deleterious change of serum lipids, with an increase of lipid abnormalities. The present study evaluated the relationship between TSH and cholesterol and triglyceride level. A total number of 600 subjects (250 males and 350 females) from Udaipur with a mean age of 41.56±8.37 years were selected for the present study. All the subjects were classified into three categories depending upon the TSH level. The TSH value of the subjects of the first category (A) was <5.0 and of second category (B) was between 5.0-10.0 and of third category (C) was >10.0 µIU/ml. On comparing the concentration of cholesterol and triglyceride of all the three categories it was found that values of (B) were significantly higher than (A) and similarly values of (C) were significantly higher than (B). The TSH level is directly propotional to the lipid level. The higher the level of TSH the more is the derangement of the lipid values. Maintaining the serum TSH levels in an appropriate range will achieve homeostasis of the lipid levels and slow the progression of atherosclerosis in coronary heart disease patients.
