Thyroid hormones are involved in the regulation of body composition, lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance. Thus, it is possible that they might play a role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the role of thyroid function on NAFLD is not well defined. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, within the reference range, and presence of NAFLD in asymptomatic individuals.
