Estimation of Visfatin, Adiponectin Hormone and Lipid Profile in Hyperthyroidism Patients

Abstract

Hyperthyroidism also called Thyrotoxicosis is an abnormal condition occur when the thyroid gland produces and secretes excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, Thyroxine T₄ and Triiodothyronine T₃.  This will leads to speed up body metabolic rate, weight loss, and irregularheartbeat. Adiponectin andVisfatin are hormones secreted from the Adipose tissue, which they have an essential role for maintaining glucose, lipid metabolism and energy expenditure.

Eighty sample of both gender between 20 and 60 years old were divided into two groups: group₁(Control group) include (40)healthy people and group₂ (40) Hyperthyroidism patients.The results showed that there was a significant elevate in the value of the Adiponectin hormone in group₂ compared to the control group.In contrast, it was observed that there was a decrease in the level of the Visfatin hormone in the group₂ compared with the control group, and as for lipid profile, it was noticed that there was a clear and significant decrease in all values of lipids in the group₂ compared to the control group.

The present study was carried out estimation of Visfatin and Adiponectin hormone in Hyperthyroidism patients, in addition to understand the relationship between Visfatin hormone and other related hormones T₃ and T₄, as so as the level of lipid profile.
