The effects of orlistat and sibutramine on serum thyroid hormone levels in obese subjects

Keskin L , Sahin I , Bentli R , Senel S , Taskapan C

Background: Studies on thyroid hormones in obese adult patients are contradictory. Moreover, little is known about the effect of weight loss on thyroid functions. Thus, we aimed to investigate thyroid hormone status, and possible effect of weight loss on thyroid hormones in obese patients.Methods: We study population consisted of 39 (35 female, 4 male) euthyroid obese patients with mean age 42.76±10.52 years. Of these 19 patients were morbid obese. ...
