Study the Relationship between the Level of Thyroid Hormones and Obesity

Abstract

Hormones are one of the most important elements in metabolic pathways in human body as its role in the controlling on metabolism reactions. In this research we study the effect of very importance hormones which affected directly on biosynthesis of lipid, carbohydrates and proteins in the body meaning triiodothyrionine T3and tyroxine (tetraiodothyrionine) T4. Two hormones secreted by thyroid gland which is consider an endocrine gland localized at the neck. In addition to these hormones we also measure in this study the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone TSH that secreted by pituitary gland. These three hormones were measured in fifty obese persons to study the relationship between the activity of these hormones and the body mass. Finally we compare the obtained results of hormones with the weight, age, and other disease for all the taken specimens.
