Abstract
Studies have also demonstrated associations between obesity and subtle alterations in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels.Excess adiposity has been correlated with mildly elevated TSH concentrations.16 Excess weight is also linked to decreased FSH secretion in females, as elevated estrogen production inhibits pituitary FSH release, potentially impacting menstrual health and fertility.
