A Comparison of Reproductive Hormones and Biochemical Parameters in Hypothyroid and Euthyroid Postmenopausal Women.

Background: Menopause and hypothyroidism, both individually, affect the reproductive hormone profile as well as body metabolism which is reflected in the form of a deranged biochemical profile. It will be interesting to observe the effects on both these profiles, when menopause is associated with hypothyroidism.

Methods: This study was conducted on 30 postmenopausal women with newly diagnosed primary hypothyroidism and 30 euthyroid menopausal females as controls.
