Introduction: Thyrotropic hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (fT3) and thyroxine (fT4) affect adipocytes and HMG-CoA hepatic reductase, indirectly regulating the body’s lipid metabolism. This mechanism is already known, however the principles of regulating lipid metabolism through thyroid metabolism constitute an important and a desirable element of scientific research in thyreology. Thyrotropic hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (fT3) and thyroxine (fT4) affect adipocytes and...

Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a common condition of the nervous system. It causes an overwhelming, irresistible urge to move the legs, mainly in the evening and night hours. It occurs in 7.2–10.0% of the population of western countries. Etiopathogenesis of RLS is not fully understood, but there is a hypothesis than an important role may play the imbalance between thyroid function and the dopaminergic system. The main ai...

Introduction: Production of chemerin (CHEM), omentin-1 (OMENT), and vaspin (VASP) in adipose tissue is determined by nutritional status. There is no data on CHEM, OMENT and VASP blood serum concentrations in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN).Objectives: i) Assessment of CHEM, OMENT and VASP serum concentrations in girls with AN. ii) Analysis of correlations between the CHEM, OMENT, and VASP serum concentrations and body weight, BMI, serum insulin (INS)...
