Newly diagnosed Primary were treated with L-thyroxine for 3-6 months. control group selected basis biochemical evidence a normal function. Psychophysiological...

In this study we investigated whether leptin and TNFalpha levels change with improvement in body weight antituberculotic therapy active tuberculosis patients. 30 patients (8 females 22 males) pulmonary formed the patient group, 25 sex- age-matched healthy subjects 17 served as control group. Body weight, mass index (BMI) serum plasma are measured before sixth month of all Before initiation therapy, BMI was significantly lower than controls (20.2 +/- 1.6 vs. 25.2 2.7 kg/m(2), respectively; p...

Gastric carcinoma is reported to be more frequent in geographical areas where diets are either iodine-deficient or iodine-excessive. Reports have also shown an association between thyroid diseases and some of the risk factors for gastric carcinoma.
