Thyroid
The thyroid gland is an essential organ for producing thyroid hormones, which maintain our body’s metabolism. Several studies have reported the association of Insulin resistance (IR) and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) with thyroid diseases such as hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroditis, thyroid nodules and other complications related to the thyroid gland. Also, patients with both Polycystic Ovary syndrome (PCOS) and IR have shown increased frequency of thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Grave’s disease. Elevated insulin levels disrupt the conversion of T4 hormone to active T3 in the liver. Thus people with hyperinsulinemia tend to have low T 3 levels.
Hypothyroid
Hypothyroidism can cause a number of symptoms, such as the poor ability to tolerate cold, a feeling of tiredness, constipation, depression, and weight gain.
Hyperthyroid
Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body’s metabolism significantly, causing sudden weight loss, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nervousness or irritability.
