Understanding the Role of Thyroid Hormones, Sex Hormones, and their Stimulating Hormones in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Author(s): Lampros Varley*
Metabolic syndrome frequently manifests as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Endocrine hormones in addition to lifestyle choices are involved in the dysregulation of hepatic metabolism. Changes in the levels of thyroid hormones (THs), primarily in subclinical hypothyroidism, and sex hormones are the most frequent endocrine hormones causing metabolic syndrome (in menopause). These hormonal adjustments impact hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism and may lead to an increase in hepatic fat deposition. The effects of sex hormones, or THs, and their corresponding stimulating hormones, Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and FollicleStimulating Hormone (FSH), on the onset of hepatosteatosis are compared in this article. FSH and TSH might be when metabolic alterations were discovered while only stimulating hormone levels were aberrant and peripheral hormone levels were still within th.. View More»
