Carbohydrate-rich Meals Have no Impact on Post-prandial Lipid Parameters in Indians with Subclinical and Overt Primary Hypothyroidism.

Background And Aims: The impact of altered cholesterol metabolism on post-prandial lipids in Indians with hypothyroidism is not known. This study evaluated the impact of overt primary hypothyroidism (OPH) and subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH) on post-prandial lipids after a standardised, carbohydrate-rich, mixed meal.

Methods: Endocrinology outpatients were screened for possible inclusion into the study.
