No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Primary hypothyroidism is associated with significant metabolic disturbances, including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, adipose tissue dysfunction, and altered adipokine secretion. Although levothyroxine replacement therapy effectively restores thyroid hormone levels, the extent to which biochemical recovery reflects metabolic improvement remains unclear.

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate changes in serum adipokine levels, including asprosin, adipolin, omentin-1, and visfatin, together with metabolic parameters in newly diagnosed primary hypothyroid patients before and after 8 weeks of levothyroxine replacement therapy. In addition to conventional biochemical markers, multiple cardiometabolic indices related to insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, and hepatic metabolic burden will be analyzed.

The study is designed to investigate whether normalization of thyroid function is accompanied by parallel metabolic recovery and to explore the potential role of adipokine dynamics in adipose-metabolic remodeling during early levothyroxine treatment.
