Objective: Women with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) could have fertility problems. Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which reflects functional ovarian reserve, is decreased in women with HT. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between serum levels of AMH and insulin resistance in women with HT compared to control group.
Patients and methods: We examined 193 women: 37 subjects with HT, without previous history of treatment with L-thyroxin, and 156 control women. Serum concentrations of AMH, TSH, thyroid hormones, insulin, glucose, HbA1c, lipids were assessed. HOMA-IR was calculated.
Results: We did not observed differences in serum concentration of AMH in women with HT in comparison to the control group (P=0.26). We also did not noticed differences in serum levels of TSH, thyroid hormones, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c and lipids between studied groups (all P> 0.05). In women with HT, we observed relationships between serum levels of AMH and insulin (r=0.34, P=0.03), we also observed that AMH levels was connected with HOMA-IR (r=0.36, P=0.02) in women with HT. However, we did not find relation between serum concentration of AMH and HOMA-IR in the control group (r=-0.03, P=0.68).
Conclusions: We observed in women with HT connection between insulin resistance and marker of functional ovarian reserve.
