A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY TO DETERMINE ALTERATION IN LIPID PROFILE IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED PATIENTS OF THYROID DISORDER

Abstract

Thyroid function regulates a wide array of metabolic parameters. It has long been known that 
thyroid hormones are of vital importance in maintaining the initial level of phospholipids in cell membranes and fatty acids composition of the lipids. [1] Thyroid function significantly 
affects lipoprotein metabolism as well as some cardiovascular disease (CVD) riskfactors, thus influencing overall CVD risk. Indeed, even within the normal rangeof thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH) values, change in total cholesterol (TC), low-densitylipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TGs) and high-d
