Abstract
Leptin is positively associated with TSH levels in euthyroid individuals, suggesting an effect of the adipokine on TSH secretion. Our results support the hypothesis that the leptin and pituitary-thyroid axis might interact in the context of energy homeostasis. The effect of adiponectin on thyroid autoimmunity will require more studies.
