Furthermore, there were no significant differences in lipid profile, including total cholesterol (p = 0.13), LDL-cholesterol (p = 0.94), HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.09), and triglycerides (p = 0.16), as well as fasting glucose (p = 0.23), fasting insulin (p = 0.79), and HOMA-IR (p = 0.87) values between the Hashimoto’s disease group, non-autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hypo-non-Hashimoto) group and the healthy control (data not shown graphically). Here, INS is linked to Hashimoto thyroiditis.
