Lower MBL levels are associated with, among other conditions, hypothyroidism and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In turn, adverse pregnancy outcomes and infertility may result from hypothyroidism, even in patients with high normal Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The aim of this study was to determine if MBL level differs between women of reproductive age with low normal (&lt;\u20092.5 mIU\/l) and high normal (\u22652.5 mIU\/l) TSH. Associations with other parameters potentially affected by hypothyroidism were also evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ninety five (95) patients with normal thyroid tests (TSH 0.27\u20134.2 mIU\/l), aged 18\u201348\u2009years, were prospectively enrolled. Several laboratory parameters were measured, including MBL level, thyroid tests and lipid profile.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Serum MBL level was lower in women with TSH\u2009\u2265\u20092.5 mIU\/l than with TSH\u2009&lt;\u20092.5 mIU\/l. This association was confirmed by univariate regression analysis. MBL level was significantly lower in patients with abnormally low HDLC\/cholesterol ratio and a positive correlation was found between MBL level and HDL\/cholesterol ratio.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In women of reproductive age with normal thyroid tests, lower MBL is associated with high normal TSH and with less favourable lipid profile.
