Abstract

Aim: Increased susceptibility for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease attributable to low-normal thyroidfunction is likely to be in part be due to effects on plasma lipoproteins. Associations of changes in lipoprotein metabolism with thyroid function could be enhanced in the context of chronic hyperglycemia. We determined relationships of plasma lipids and lipoprotein subfractions with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (free T4) in euthyroid subjects with and without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
