Comparison of lipid profile between subclinical hypothyroidism and Normothyroid in metabolic syndrome cases: Our experience from Manipal Hospital Pune

Abstract

Introduction: Thyroid hormone affects lipid metabolism, and numerous studies have found 
that lipid levels increase as TSH levels rise. Serum low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) levels 
were observed to be higher in SCH patients in several investigations. Changes in blood high
density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels under SCH have also yielded 
contradictory results.
