Interaction Between Thyroid Hormones and Glucose Homeostasis in Post Menopausal Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Women.

Abstract

To evaluate the interaction between Thyroid hormones and Glucose homeostasis in post menopausal Diabetic and Non-Diabetic women. Sixty women aged between 46-65 years were selected for the present study & further divided into 2 groups. 30 post menopausal diabetic women were compared with equal number of post menopausal Non-diabetic women. Anthropometric & Physiological parameters were taken. Complete blood picture count, Fasting blood glucose(FBS),Glycosylated haemoglobin(HbA1C), Oestradiol, progesterone, Follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), Luteinizing hormone(LH) levels were analyzed. Unpaired “t” test, is used for the analysis of data between Diabetic and Non-Diabetic group. P<0.05 considered statistically significant. In our study we found, there is significant increase in weight, BSA, BMI, where as significant decrease in DBP of diabetic group compared to Non-Diabetics & there is significant increase in FBS, HbA1C levels of Diabetic group & significant decrease in LH levels of Diabetics compared to Non-Diabetics
