Endocrinopathy and obesity
- III. interní klinika 1. LF UK a VFN Praha
The article deals with the associations between obesity and endocrinopathies, i.e. diseases that are widely prevalent in the population and often co-occur. However, in most cases, there is no clear causal relationship between these two conditions. Excess adipose tissue in obesity can be a source of numerous endocrine-acting substances and, on the contrary, some endocrinopathies can be linked to the development of obesity (hypothalamic and pituitary diseases, Cushing syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypogonadism). Thyroid gland diseases have a specific effect on body weight. However, blanket screening for endocrinopathies in people with obesity is not efficient.
Keywords: obesity, endocrinopathy, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism.
