This study aims to investigate associations between PM, PM, and NO and maternal thyroid hormones. We investigated 443 pregnant women in Zhejiang, China with repeated examinations of serum thyroid hormones at 10, 17, and 32 weeks. Individual exposures to ambient air pollution were retrospectively calculated by inverse distance weighting interpolation. Multivariate linear mixed models were applied to estimate the association between air pollutants and thyroid hormones. PM exposure was positively associated with TSH (β: 0.077 [95% CI: 0.003, 0.152]), and negatively associated with FT (β: -0.041 [-0.057, -0.025]) and FT (β: -0.036 [-0.055, -0.017]) during the 0-90 lag days (per IQR). Similarly, increased exposure to PM was associated with decreased FT (β: -0.016 [-0.032, -0.001]), and increased Tg (β: 0.147 [0.025, 0.269]). Evaluated NO levels were associated with decreased FT (β: -0.026 [-0.039, -0.014]) and FT (β: -0.036 [-0.052, -0.020]), as well as increased Tg (β: 0.129 [0.011, 0.247]). The results indicate that exposure to ambient PM, PM, and NO throughout the entire pregnancy adversely affects thyroid hormones, implying potential health implications of air pollution on maternal thyroid function.

Glucose metabolism alterations are frequently observed in patients with secretory pituitary adenomas. The most commonly secreted hormones in these tumors include prolactin, growth hormone (GH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), all of which can disrupt glucose homeostasis through distinct pathophysiological mechanisms. Prolactin stimulates pancreatic β-cell proliferation, enhances insulin gene transcription, increases intracellular insulin content, and augments glucose-induced insulin secretion.

Background: Bisphenols are emerging pollutants of health concern. Exposure to bisphenols may impact hormone physiology, particularly during pregnancy, when the body is more vulnerable to disruptions.
Objective: This study aimed to identify bisphenol exposure profiles in pregnant women and to explore associations between urinary levels of these compounds and disruptions in reproductive and thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy.

Background: The link between exposure to environmental hazards and thyroid function has been relatively well established. However, evidence on environmental exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and thyroid function in the general population remains unclear.
Objectives: To assess the impact of individual and joint effects of VOCs exposure on thyroid function in a representative sample of U.

Background: Over the past decade, the remarkable rise in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) incidence, combined with the limitations of conventional diagnostic approaches, have prompted this study to explore the diagnostic value of thyroid-related serological indicators and pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) for DTC, based on advancements in molecular biology and immunology.
Methods: Based on postoperative pathological diagnosis, the present retrospective research comprised 112 individuals afflicted with DTC (observation group) and 93 individuals having benign thyroid tumors (control group) from January 2023 to January 2025. Differences in clinical data between the two groups were analyzed via univariate statistical methods.

Objective: To investigate the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and bone metabolism markers in newly diagnosed middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with normal thyroid function.
Method: We retrospectively analyzed 350 newly diagnosed T2DM patients (≥ 45 years), stratified by bone mineral density into Group A (normal bone density group) and Group B (low bone mass and osteoporosis group). General data and clinical biochemical parameters were collected: free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum calcium (Ca), serum phosphorus (P), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), serum creatinine (SCr), serum uric acid (SUA), and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR).
