ABSTRACT
Various hormones have been associated with duodenal ulcer. In the present study Serum T3, T4 and TSH estimation of 127 duodenal ulcer patients and 106 cases was done. In the present study serum T3 levels in cases were significantly lower than the corresponding values in controls, serum T4 levels in controls were lower than the same levels in cases but not significantly and serum TSH values in cases were highly significantly raised with respect to the same in controls. Low levels of TSH and high levels of T3 may be associated with DU, though this finding should be confirmed by further research with a larger population and with other markers.
