Are serum thyrotropin levels within the reference range associated with endothelial function?
AIMS High serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels within the reference range might be associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. In the present study, we investigated the association between serum TSH levels and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) as a measure of endothelial dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population comprised 1364 subjects (670 women) aged 25-85 years with serum TSH levels...
متن کاملHashimoto’s Thyroiditis, microcalcification and raised thyrotropin levels within normal range are associated with thyroid cancer
BACKGROUND To confirm whether clinical and biochemical parameters or Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) could predict the risks of malignancy among subjects who underwent thyroidectomy, as well as to determine the influence of HT on the biological behavior of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). METHODS A total of 2,052 patients who underwent initial thyroidectomy were enrolled between June 2006 and Aug...
متن کاملSerum thyroglobulin antibody levels within or near to the reference range may interfere with thyroglobulin measurement
High concentration of thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) is a major limiting factor of thyroglobulin measurements in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. We investigated whether thyroglobulin antibody added to serum samples could interfere with the thyroglobulin assay. Thyroglobulin levels in serum samples with different concentrations of thyroglobulin were measured by electrochemiluminesc...
متن کاملCirculating humanin levels are associated with preserved coronary endothelial function.
Humanin is a small endogenous antiapoptotic peptide, originally identified as protective against Alzheimer's disease, but subsequently also found on human endothelium as well as carotid artery plaques. Endothelial dysfunction is a precursor to the development of atherosclerotic plaques, which are characterized by a highly proinflammatory, reactive oxygen species, and apoptotic milieu. Previous ...
متن کاملHigher TSH Levels Within the Normal Range Are Associated With Unexplained Infertility.
Context Unexplained infertility (UI), defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse with no diagnosed cause, affects 10% to 30% of infertile couples. An improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying UI could lead to less invasive and less costly treatment strategies. Abnormalities in thyroid function and hyperprolactinemia are well-known causes of inferti...
