(MDPI, 2021-08-19)
[Abstract] The most frequent endocrine disease in obese patients is hypothyroidism. To date, there are no clear data regarding what happens to the dose of levothyroxine (LT4) after bariatric surgery (BS). The objective of ...
Effect of weight loss after bariatric surgery on thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in euthyroid patients with morbid obesity
(MDPI, 2019-05-20)
[Abstract] Obesity is associated with several endocrine abnormalities, including thyroid dysfunction. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of weight loss after bariatric surgery on thyroid-stimulating ...
Oral glucose-stimulated growth hormone (GH) test in adult GH deficiency patients and controls: potential utility of a novel test
(Elsevier, 2017-06-09)

Central resistance to thyroid hormones in morbidly obese subjects is reversed after bariatric surgery-induced weight loss
(MDPI, 2020-01-28)
[Abstract]
Endocrine abnormalities are common in obesity, including altered thyroid function. The altered thyroid function of obesity may be due to a mild acquired resistance to the thyroid hormone. The aim of this study ...
Circulating levels of irisin in hypopituitary and normal subjects
