title: [THE LEVEL OF OSTEOPROTEGERIN AND CERTAIN ADIPOKINES IN HYPOTHYROIDISM].
abstract: We measured the levels of osteoprotegerin, resistin, leptin, and adiponectin in patients with hypothyroidism differing in the thyroid status. The levels of osteoprotegerin, resistin, leptin were higher and those of adiponectin lower than normal. The patients suffered atherogenic dyslipidemia associated with enhanced insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia. Leptin and adiponectin levels correlated with characteristics of lipid metabolism. It is concluded that leptin and adiponectin play a role in the development of dyslipidemia in hypothyroidism.
