Abstract

Hyperthyroidism is associated with altered growth hormone (GH) secretion. Many patients with thyroid dysfunction experience several poorly described complications such as symptoms and signs also seen in patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). We have therefore prospectively evaluated a possible relationship between the thyroid function, body composition, leptin levels and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) related peptides in patients with Graves' disease. DESIGN, PATIENTS, AND MEASUREMENTS: In a prospective group of 24 fasting female patients with Graves' disease (mean age (CI 95%): 40 years (33-47)), we measured serum thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyrotropine (TSH), TSH receptor antibodies, anti-thyroid peroxidase, leptin, body composition, body mass index (BMI) and IGF-related peptides at diagnosis and after 12 months of treatment with thiamazol (ATD).
