Description
In obesity, the hormonal secretion of the thyroid gland switches from homeostasis to type 2 allostasis in order to adapt to persistent modifications of adipose tissue and inflammation. Previous meta-analyses have linked obesity with an increased risk of developing thyroid diseases, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We designed an observational cross-sectional study including all female patients presenting consecutively in an ambulatory clinic for 16 months. This study aimed to describe the level of serum cytokines and chemokines in relation to TSH, fT4 and insulin resistance (IR) indexes in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The study included 72 women with a median age of 59 ± 17.75 years, and a mean BMI (Body Mass Index) of 31.48 ± 6.75 kg/m2. Modelling homeostasis model assessment of IR indices (HOMA-IR) based on chemokines (IL-8, CXCL10, CXCL11, leptin), C-reactive protein, the presence or absence of SCH, taking into account age, BMI, abdominal circumference, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (ATPO) as covariates, identified a single chemokine that was significantly associated with the dependent variable (IL-8). IR indices are negatively associated with IL-8 in female patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, but the effect of the cytokine is minimal. BMI rather than TSH influences the level of CXCL11 in our population. CXCL10 has a tendency to increase in patients with SCH, obesity and prediabetes, with no association with TSH. © 2022
