Thyroid status, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in overweight and obese adults before and after 36 weeks of whey protein supplementation and exercise training.

ABSTRACT: UNLABELLED:Research suggests that subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT) influences insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Reductions in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations are associated with exercise training (ExTr), which improves insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. PURPOSE:A secondary analysis of previously published data was conducted to examine the relationship between SHT, TSH and glucose homeostatic control at baseline and to assess the impact of ExTr on thyroid status and how SHT affects changes in insulin sensitivity after ExTr. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Data were obtained from a 36-week ExTr and whey protein supplementation intervention trial. Subjects (n = 304, 48 ± 7 years, females = 186) were randomized to a specific whey protein group (0, 20, 40, or 60 g per day) and all subjects participated in a resistance (2 d/wk) and aerobic (1 d/wk) training program. Testing was conducted at baseline and post-intervention. RESULTS:At baseline, 36% (n = 110) and 12% (n = 35) of subjects were classified with SHT based on the TSH ? 3 µIU/L or TSH ? 4.5 µIU/L cut-offs, respectively. No association was found between baseline TSH and baseline measures of glucose homeostatic control. Whey protein supplementation did not influence intervention outcomes. Post-intervention (n = 164), no change was observed in TSH. SHT did not affect changes in insulin sensitivity following ExTr. CONCLUSION:These results support that the health benefits of ExTr for the management of insulin resistance (IR) are not blunted by SHT.

Project description:ObjectiveThyroid disorders are commonly concomitant with premature birth; however, indications to start therapy remain unclear due to a lack of gestational age (GA)-specific reference ranges. We aimed to evaluate the age-specific thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) levels and the correlation between TSH and FT4 serum levels and ultrasound thyroid volume in preterm infants.Materials and methodsThis was an observational, prospective, single-center study of 98 preterm infants born before 33 weeks GA. The infants were divided into the 24-28 weeks and 29-32 weeks GA groups. TSH and FT4 serum levels were measured at two time points: at postnatal age (PNA) 2 weeks and at postmenstrual age (PMA) 32 weeks; the results were compared between groups at two consecutive time points.ResultsThere was a statistically significant between-group difference in FT4 concentration. There was a positive correlation between FT4 and GA at both screening times. FT4 in the 24-28 weeks GA group was significantly lower than in the 29-32 weeks GA group. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) FT4 at PNA 2 weeks was 11.72 ± 2.16 pmol/l for the 24-28 weeks GA group vs. 13.33 ± 1.80 pmol/l for the 29-32 weeks GA group (p<0.001). The mean (SD) FT4 at PMA 32 weeks was 11.96 ± 1.98 pmo/l for the 24-28 weeks GA group vs. 13.33 ± 1.80 pmol/l for the 29-32 weeks GA group (p=0.001). Our results reflect a slow and gradual upward trend of FT4 in the 24-28 weeks GA. It is of interest that the correlation between thyroid volume and FT4 was statistically significant (rho=0.25, p=0.019) for all studied preterm infants. The correlation between thyroid volume and weight was statistically significant for the entire study group (rho=0.37, p<0.001). We did not find statistically significant differences in TSH and FT4 values between consecutive time points at 24-28 weeks GA. The thyroid volume was not significantly different between both groups. The total thyroid volume was 0.26 vs. 0.27 ml for the 24-28 and 29-32 weeks GA groups, respectively.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that preterm infants require lower FT4 values depending on GA. Moreover, ultrasound thyroid imaging may facilitate the evaluation of questionable thyroid disorders.
