Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients of either sex, aged 18 years or above suffering from hypothyroidism
(hypothyroidism was defined as serum TSH level > 5µIU/ml, serum FT3 level < 1.57
pg/ml, serum FT4 level < 0.7 ng/dL. Subclinical hypothyroidism was defined as an
elevated TSH level and a normal serum FT3 and FT4 level) and need treatment (treatment
is indicated in patients with TSH levels >10 µIU/mL or in patients with TSH levels
between 5 and 10 µIU/mL in conjunction with goiter or positive anti-thyroid peroxidase
antibodies (or both).

- Patients not having hepatic/renal dysfunction, Diabetes mellitus, and chronic
inflammatory diseases and not taking any medications for thyroid disease.

- Euthyroid subjects not having any significant medical disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with other comorbidites which can interfere the outcome measures.

- Patients who are already on levothyroxine therapy or taking other medications.

- Patients with subacute thyroiditis were excluded from the study since acute
inflammation could influence the measurements.

- Pregnant and lactating mothers.
