TSH Normal Alta: Su relación con bajo HDL-Colesterol en mujeres con resistencia a la insulina con independencia de otros posibles factores concurrentes

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.
