Endocrinology is closely related to lipid metabolism. Lipotoxicity affects the abnormal function of various endocrine organs, and leads to diabetes, fatty liver, metabolic syndrome and other endocrine and metabolic diseases. It is an important strategy to prevent the lipid toxicity. Endocrine disorders can also cause dyslipidemia. Studies have found that thyroid and gonadal glands play an important role in lipid metabolism. Their molecular mechanisms are gradually revealed and will be a new therapeutic target for dyslipidemia. Lipid metabolism disorders play an important role in the development of endocrine and metabolic diseases.
