Statut de la 25(OH)D et l’hypothyroïdie Au cours de la ménopause

Abstract

The thyroid is an essential endocrine gland for our body, it is the fuel of our cells, it is responsible for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which play a very important role in the regulation of several functions in the body. Vitamin D plays a much more ubiquitous role in metabolism. Vitamin D insufficiency, which has become a global health problem, has been observed in certain autoimmune disorders suggesting a role of hypovitaminosis D in the onset and progression of these autoimmune diseases. In addition, patients with hypothyroidism have been reported to have lower vitamin D levels. The onset of menopause could be the cause of certain pathologies such as dysthyroidism. The objective of our study is to determine the interrelationship between the onset of menopause, the onset of hypothyroidism and vitamin D deficiency Our results show that the onset of menopause is characterized by low levels of vitamin D, causing many symptoms associated with menopause and affecting thyroid function; hypothyroidism, that the latter causes a slowdown in the peripheral metabolism.
