Abstract

REZZONICO, J; REZZONICO, M; BRINGA, J  and  PUSIOL, E. TSH Normal Alta: Su relación con bajo HDL-Colesterol en mujeres con resistencia a la insulina con independencia de otros posibles factores concurrentes. Rev. argent. endocrinol. metab. [online]. 2008, vol.45, n.5, pp.195-205. ISSN 1851-3034.

It has been described abnormalities in lipid metabolism in clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism, including the reduction of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Considering the normal range for TSH between 0.4-3.0 uUI / ml and high-normal values between 2.0 and 3.0 uUI / ml, we investigated the hypothesis that in euthyroid women, high-normal TSH levels and insulin resistance (IR) are associated with low HDL-C. We observed in euthyroid women with high-normal TSH and insulin resistance, without other factors, a significantly lower level of HDL-C than in non-insulin or insulin resistance women with low-normal TSH.

Keywords : HDL-C; Hyperinsulinemia; High normal TSH.
