Master’s Thesis at Samarra University Examines the Relationship Between Adipokine Levels and Physiological Parameters in Thyroid Patients

A master’s thesis was defended at the College of Applied Sciences at Samarra University, titled “Study of the Relationship Between Adipokine Levels and Some Physiological and Biochemical Parameters in Patients with Thyroid Disorders in Samarra City,” presented by the student Maytham Mazhar Hussein.

The study aimed to assess certain hormones, specifically thyroid hormones and adipokines, including irisin, vaspin, obestatin, fetuin, and omentin, in patients with thyroid disorders, comparing them with a control group. Additionally, the research investigated the concentration of specific elements such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in thyroid disorder patients.

The results indicated an increase in the levels of fetuin A, irisin, vitamins D and B12, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, packed cell volume (PCV), white blood cells (WBC), glucose, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), as well as triiodothyronine (T3, T4) in patients with hyperthyroidism compared to the control group at a significance level of P<0.05. Conversely, these levels were found to decrease in patients with hypothyroidism.
