چکیده

According to the published data, endemic goiter was until recently, still present in some regions in Croatia. In this study the thyroid volume in grown-up, student population was measured. It was also analyzed which of the several traditional physiological attributes (body weight, body height, and body surface area (BSA)) were best correlated with the thyroid volume. Fifty one randomly selected female students from University of Zagreb Medical School were studied. Mean age of our subjects was 22 (range 20-38). All of them were healthy and with normal thyroid hormonal status. The mean thyroid volume was 10.68+/-2.83 mL (range 5.71-17.09 mL). The results show that thyroid volume was best correlated with body height (r=0.37; p=0.001), followed with body surface area (r=0.28; p=0.017). The thyroid volume was found normal in all our subjects.

Relationship between serum zinc levels, thyroid hormones and thyroid volume following successful iodine supplementation.

OBJECTIVE Zinc is essential for many biochemical processes and also for cell proliferation. Thyroid hormones influence zinc metabolism by affecting zinc absorption and excretion. Additionally, zinc deficiency affects thyroid function. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a possible association of zinc levels with thyroid volume, thyroid hormones and thyroid autoantibody levels in health...
