Alterations in adiponectin concentration in hyper- and hypothyroid patients; possible underlying mechanisms and role of metformin treatment in experimental animals

Ramadan N. , Shawky H. , Ghanem N. , Gamal M.

Recent reports on the interplay between adiponectin, thyroid hormones and metformin have given conflicting results. Our study aimed to investigate adiponectin concentration in thyroid disorders and to assess the possibility of involvement of adiponectin in the regulation of thyroid hormone production, also to clarify the role of pituitary-thyroid axis in the modulation of adiponectin production and to assess the interplay between metformin treatment, thyroid function and adipo...
