Background: Thyroid hormones (TH) may influence glucose metabolism. Hyperthyroid subjects have higher insulin secretion rates when compared with euthyroid individuals. Objective: To evaluate the association between TH concentrations and insulin secretion in euthyroid, healthy Pima Indian adults (nZ55, 29G7 years, females/males 36/19) with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) admitted to a Clinical Research Unit. Methods: TSH, free thyroxine (FT 4 ), 3,5,30 -L-tri-iodothyronine (FT 3 ), and fasting plasma insulin (FPI) concentrations were measured in fasting plasma samples, percentage of body fat (%BF) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), acute insulin response (AIR), and incremental area under the curve (AUC) of insulin in response to a 25 g intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) respectively and insulin action (M) during an euglycemic clamp. Results: FT 3 concentrations were associated with FPI, AIR, and insulin AUC both before (rZ0.33, PZ0.01; rZ0.29, PZ0.03; and rZ0.35, PZ0.008 respectively) and after adjustment for age, sex, %BF, glucose (fasting concentrations or glucose AUC), and M (bZ0.09, PZ0.01; bZ0.16, PZ0.03; and bZ0.24, PZ0.0007 respectively). No associations were found for TSH or FT 4 . Conclusion: FT 3 was associated with several measurements of insulin secretion in euthyroid individuals with NGT. T 3 concentrations may play a role in the regulation of insulin secretion.
