Introduction: A positive correlation between serum thyrotropin concentrations (TSH) and body mass index (BMI) has been demonstrated. Some studies not shown this, in euthyroid subjects, or observed only if thyroid autoimmunity (TA) is present or in non-smokers (NS). Leptin (Lp) could be the major link between BMI and TSH.Design: To analyze the relationship between TSH, free thyroxine (FT4), Lp, TA (peroxidase and/or thyroglobulin antibodies) an...
