Thyroid function and lipid tests were measured in 29 premenopausal women with subclinical hypothyroidism. This group was compared with 41 euthyroid women matched for age and metabolic parameters. In basal condition there was no difference in thyroid hormone levels between the two groups except for TSH concentration (P less than 0.01). Total cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein (apo A1, A2, B) of women with subclinical hypothyroidism were not different from controls. HDL cholesterol was significantly decreased in subclinical hypothyroidism compared to the controls (P less than 0.01). With thyroxine therapy, normalization of serum TSH was associated with (1) no significant change in total cholesterol and triglycerides, (2) an increase of HDL cholesterol (P less than 0.01) and apoprotein A1 (P less than 0.05) levels. Total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio was increased in subclinical hypothyroidism (P less than 0.01). During L-thyroxine therapy this ratio returned to normal value. Decreased HDL cholesterol concentration might cause coronary heart disease reported in women with subclinical hypothyroidism.
