Background. gp91(phox), the catalytic core of NADPH oxidase (NOX) and biomarker of NOX activation, has been recently recognized as a parameter of systemic oxidative stress in several studies. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is characteristic of elevated level of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and is frequently accompanied with cholesterolemia. In this study, the levels of serum soluble gp91(phox) were measured to assess the oxidative stress in patients with SH. And the relationship among gp91(phox), low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C), and TSH was also investigated. Methods. A total of 51 subjects were enrolled and categorized into four groups: the healthy controls subjects (n = 13), controls with high level of LDL-C alone (n = 12), SH with normal level of LDL-C (n = 11), and SH with high level of LDL-C (n = 15). The related clinical and laboratory data were collected for statistical analysis. All the patients were newly diagnosed and did not take any medication. The information of lipid profile and thyroid function was extracted, and the concentrations of gp91phox were obtained with ELISA. Results. The levels of serum soluble gp91phox evidently increased in the patients with SH with a high level of LDL-C (81.52 +/- 37.00 ug/mL) as compared to the healthy controls (54.98 +/- 1.83ug/mL, p
