Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in a community-based sample including 5385 individuals (2964 female) with TSH within the reference range. Subjects who reported taking thyroid medications or drugs that alter thyroid function were excluded. TSH, FT4, adiponectin, leptin, antibody against thyroperoxidase and against thyroglobulin were measured. Linear and logistic regression models were used to test for association.
Objective: Cytokines release by adipocytes could interact with TSH secretion. We evaluated the relationship between adipocytokines and TSH. We further tested for association of cytokines and thyroid autoimmunity.
