The medical community acknowledges the presence of thyroid disorders and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Nevertheless, the interconnection between these two circumstances is complex. Thyroid hormones (THs), including triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH...
Production of ACTH by nonpituitary tumors can also result in hypercortisolism. These tumors are frequently malignant and account for approximately 10% of cases of CS. The hypercortisolism of ectopic ACTH syndrome can precede a cancer diagnosis by many years and include lung, thyroid, gastrointestin...
The process of goitrogenesis is likely to be the consequence of an increased TSH stimulation linked to an initial reduction of circulating thyroid hormone caused by iodine deficiency (ID). Other growth factors associated to TSH may have a role in the pathogenesis of goiter. Natural history of ...

Hypertension (HTN) is a significant global health issue. It is the major risk factor for atherosclerosis, leading to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as a risk factor for the progression to kidney failure. HTN has its antecedents d
[5]. Lifestyle choices such as excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and obesity have been identified as modifiable risk factors for AF [6]. Furthermore, certain medical conditions, including thyroid disorders, chronic kidney disease, and sleep apnea, contribute to the development of AF [7,8,...

The female genital system is made up of dynamic organs that change during the woman’s life cycle. Ovarian cycle consists of the growth and development of the ovarian follicle, its bursting, and transformation into the corpus luteum with relative production of estrogens and progesterone. The normal...
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the production and secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland are reduced, resulting in a compensatory elevation of TSH hormone. TSH is a pituitary gland hormone whose circulating level is independently associated with the prevalence of carotid plaques ...
