Article Synopsis
- - Obesity is a growing global health issue linked to an increased production of leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells that affects the immune system and is associated with thyroid autoimmunity.
- - A study conducted on 60 Egyptian participants (30 obese and 30 normal weight) showed that obese individuals had significantly higher levels of leptin, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and glycated hemoglobin compared to those with normal weight.
- - The results indicated a positive correlation between leptin levels and thyroid antibodies, suggesting a potential relationship between thyroid autoimmune conditions and obesity.
