The influence of thyroid function on serum lipid profile

Serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-C and LDL-C levels as well as the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio were determined in 11 patients suffering from hyperthyroidism and 7 patients suffering from hypothyroidism, and compared with those of 19 sex- and age-matched controls. In hypothyroidism a net increase...

More Information
Summary:Serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-C and LDL-C levels as well as the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio were determined in 11 patients suffering from hyperthyroidism and 7 patients suffering from hypothyroidism, and compared with those of 19 sex- and age-matched controls. In hypothyroidism a net increase of all lipid values was observed. In hyperthyroidism cholesterol and LDL-C values were reduced while those of the triglycerides and HDL-C were unchanged as compared with controls. The LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio in either group of patients was lower than in controls, the lowest being observed in thyrotoxicosis.
