Description
Summary:Diabetes 1-4, which is characterized by excessive flow of urine and insatiable thirst, was coined by the Graeco-Roman physician Aretaeus of Cappadocia (approx. 80–130 A.D.) (1) It is a state of chronic hyperglycaemia caused by absolute or relative insulin deficiency and profound changes in the body lipid and protein. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Diabetes mellitus is defined by fasting blood glucose level of 126 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or more. An estimated 177 million people are affected by diabetes mellitus. The major actions of thyroid hormones 5-7 in the human body are contribution to energy levels and the body’s ability to maintain a constant temperature. It increases fat breakdown, improves head hair growth, reduces cholesterol levels and bodyweight. Thyroid hormones control the body’s metabolism. The brain produces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which triggers the thyroid gland to produce two types of hormones – T4 and T3. T4 is the main product secreted by the thyroid follicular cells and is regarded as a precursor of the bioactive hormone T3. The present study is to explain the correlation between the levels of thyroid hormones, at the end of the proposed study a detailed discussion based on the levels is completely discussed.
