چکیده
In this review, the causes of thyrotoxicosis and the treatment of syndromes with increased trapping of iodine are discussed. The benefits and the potential side effects of 3 frequently used therapies--antithyroid medications, thyroidectomy, and (131)I treatment--are presented. The different approaches to application of (131)I treatment are described. Treatment with (131)I has been found to be cost-effective, safe, and reliable.

Effect of Thyrotoxicosis on Gene Expression of Hydrogen Sulfide-producing Enzymes in Epididymal Adipose Tissue of Male Rats
Introduction: Thyroid hormones are involved in the regulation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosynthesis. The aim of this study is to determine effects of thyrotoxicosis on H2S levels and mRNA expression of cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) in the adipose tissue of rat. Materials and Methods: Male rats were divided into the ...

متن کاملRefractory Amiodarone-induced Thyrotoxicosis: The Surgical Option
Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis is often poorly tolerated owing to underlying cardiac disease, and frequently resistant to medical therapy. We describe a 48-year-old patient with severe cardiac disease who developed amiodarone-associated thyrotoxicosis, refractory to standard medical therapy. Due to the unremitting thyrotoxicosis, a total thyroidectomy was performed without complications resu...
