Assessment of thyroid hormones status and some adipocytokines among Egyptian obese children
Abstract Aim: Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health problems facing the developed and increasingly, the developing world. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible role of thyroid hormones and some adipokines in childhood obesity. Materials & methods: A total of 80 children were enrolled; 50 obese children and 30 non-obese of matched age and sex. Clinical, demographic characteristics and lipid profile levels were monitored. Plasma levels of thyroid hormones, leptin, IL-1α and TNF-α were measured in these subjects. Results: Dyslipidemia was evident in obese children relative to normal ones. Obese children exhibited a significant reduction in TSH and free- T4 levels. There was an increment in both leptin and IL-1α levels of obese children, however, their TNF-α level were significantly decreased. Conclusion: Alterations in thyroid hormones status, leptin, IL-1α and TNF-α are associated with obesity in Egyptian children.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Lipidology is published to support the diverse array of medical professionals who work to reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality from dyslipidemia and associated disorders of lipid metabolism. The Journal''s readership encompasses a broad cross-section of the medical community, including cardiologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians, as well as those involved in the treatment of such disorders as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. The Journal also addresses allied health professionals who treat the patient base described above, such as pharmacists, nurse practitioners and dietitians. Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner. While preference is given to material of immediate practical concern, the science that underpins lipidology is forwarded by expert contributors so that evidence-based approaches to reducing cardiovascular and coronary heart disease can be made immediately available to our readers. Sections of the Journal will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
