Differential lipids in pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism and their correlation to the pregnancy outcomes

Abstract Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has become a prevalent complication in pregnancy. Recent research links SCH to disturbed thyroid lipid profile; however, it is unclear how lipid metabolism disorders contribute to the pathogenesis of SCH during pregnancy. Thus, we used nontargeted lipidomics...
