  Introduction: Hypothyroidism is a clinical condition characterized by reduced oxidative metabolism and it is characterised by markedly increased plasma levels of lipid and lipoprotein. There is insufficient data on lipid levels from India in patients with hypothyroid; only a few studies have been performed in north India. We used oxidised LDL and atherogenic index to better understand the risk for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in hypothyroidism. So this study has been done in hypothyroidism which represents an important risk factor for atherosclerosis. Aims and objectives: This study was done to study the association of blood lipids, oxidised LDL and atherogenic index of plasma between hypothyroid patients and control. Material and methods: In the present study 30 hypothyroid patients and 30 healthy controls with no evident disease were included after taking an informed c.. View More»
