Conclusions: TSH levels may influence the short-term weight loss response after LAGB.

First we have studied the effect of lithium on TSH-induced iodide uptake.

We observed a non-linear association between maternal selenium status and TSH levels.

Testosterone in males and estradiol in females modulate thyroid growth through TSH.

This result leads to questioning the usual TSH and justifies exploring alternative strategies.

Infant TSH level was significantly affected in four studies, positively in three studies.

High levels of TSH are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk.

Serum VPA level and daily dose of VPA were correlated with TSH level.

It is not known whether levels of TSH cluster as well.

Finally, new modulators of TSH receptor with attractive therapeutic potential are being developed.

These findings provide an explanation for the dominant transmission of partial TSH resistance.

Subjects with increased serum TSH levels or overt hyperthyroidism were excluded.

A non-linear association was observed between maternal selenium and TSH levels.

Fetal TSH concentrations are always high compared to nonpregnant adult values.

Eight of the fifteen studies investigated PFAAs concentrations and infant TSH.

Change of TSH in normal range did not affect blood pressure.
