The relation of adiponectin and insulin resistance in different functional status of thyroid / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study and compare the level of adiponectin in different functional status of thyroid,to assess the association of thyroid hormones and insulin resistance with adiponectin.Methods ELISA was used to examine the fasting plasma adiponectin in 56 hyperthyroidism,30 hypothyroidism and 44 normal control subjects.FT_3,FT_4,TSH, FPG,Fins and blood fat were measured.BMI and HOMA-IR were calculated.Results There were higher level of adiponectin in hyperthyroidism than hypothyroidism and normal control subjects.Fasting plasma adiponectin was posi- tively correlated with FT_4 (r=0.36,P
