OBJECTIVE: The association between established hypothyroidism and high cholesterol levels is well known. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of thyroxine (T4) administration on cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic subjects with TSH levels within the normal range ('high-normal' TSH compared with 'low-normal' TSH). DESIGN AND METHODS: We determined TSH levels in 110 consecutive patients referred for hypercholesterolemia (serum cholesterol >7.5 mmol/l). Those with 'high-normal' TSH (2.0-4.0 microU/ml) as well as those with 'low-normal' TSH (0.40-1.99 microU/ml) were randomly assigned to receive either 25 or 50 microg T4 daily for two months. Thus, groups A and B (low-normal TSH) received 25 and 50 microg T4 respectively and groups C and D (high-normal TSH) received 25 and 50 microg T4 respectively. Serum T4, tri-iodothyronine (T3), TSH, free thyroxine index, resin T3 uptake and thyroid autoantibodies (ThAab) as well as total cholesterol, high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, LDL), and triglycerides were determined before and at the end of the two-month treatment period. RESULTS: TSH levels were reduced in all groups. The most striking effect was observed in group D (TSH levels before: 2.77+/-0.55, after: 1.41+/-0.85 microU/ml, P < 0.01). Subjects in groups C and D had a higher probability of having positive ThAabs. A significant reduction in total cholesterol (P < 0.01) and LDL (P < 0.01) was observed after treatment only in group D. In those subjects in group D who were ThAab negative, there was no significant effect of thyroxine on cholesterol levels. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects with high-normal TSH levels combined with ThAabs may, in fact, have subclinical hypothyroidism presenting with elevated cholesterol levels. It is possible that these patients might benefit from thyroxine administration.

This study aims to determining the incidence of prediabetes and diabetes with total cholesterol and HDL as risk factor for the incidence of prediabetes and diabetes in the Palembang city. The research design was used by crossectional with 329 respondent, data was conducted by home visit and biomedical measurement of blood sugar and total cholesterol. The data were analyzed using chi-square. The results of the study showed that the incidence of pre-diabetes 19,8% and the incidence of diabetes14%. There was a significant relationship between total cholesterol and the incidence of prediabetes(p value= 0.003) and diabetes (0,137). the increasing of total cholesterol levels can be an early predictor of pancreatic β cell dysfunction. Prediabetes can increase the absolute risk to diabetes. by knowing lipid profile as risk factor of pre-diabetes, early prevention program can be conducted to decrease the diabetes incidence.
