Leptin and thyroid hormones in beta-thalassemia major: A cross-sectional study.
In summary, leptin levels were significantly lower in males, and TSH abnormality was common in both genders. Therefore, screening for endocrine issues may benefit these people. Furthermore, leptin exhibited a correlation with TSH and T4. This may support the role of leptin on thyroid function in β-TM patients.
