Normally distributed values are indicated as mean ± SD; nonnormaly distributed values are indicated as median and interquartile ranges.
TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone, FT4: free thyroxin, Total-C: total cholesterol, TG: triglyceride, HDL: high density lipoprotein, LDL: low density lipoprotein, Lp(a): lipoprotein(a), and BMI: body mass index; HOMA for insulin resistance index.
values are the differences of subclinical hypothyroid and euthyroid Hashimoto group.
