In the present paper we describe changes of anatomical parameters in inbred Lewis strain rats, namely their body weight, body weight gain per week, absolute and relative heart, thyroid gland and skeletal muscle weights, that are assumed to reflect experimentally altered thyroid status. The hyperthyroid state was induced by DL-thyroxine or Na 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine, while methimazole was emp...

The ectopic thyroid gland is a rare condition. In most cases, tissue the only functioning tissue, but it may rarely be associated with normal gland. Ectopic carcinoma within thyroglossal duct cyst very entity, controversial individual approaches. This encouraged us to present case of 31-year- old woman, papillary in and duct. After suspicion malignancy ultrasonography neck, FNA-biopsy was perfo...

Hypothyroidism mainly affects adults. The improper functioning of the thyroid gland results in hormone deficiency, and slowdown metabolism whole body skin changes. study aimed to present, based on a literature review, symptoms occurring hypothyroidism substances that can reduce adverse effects support care. cosmetics rich moisturizing ingredients, antioxidants, keratolytic, immunomodulating are...

BACKGROUND Thyroid adenoma associated (THADA) has been identified as the target gene affected by chromosome 2p21 translocations in thyroid adenomas, but the role of THADA in the thyroid is still elusive. The aim of this study was to quantify THADA gene expression in normal tissues and in thyroid hyper- and neoplasias, using real-time PCR. METHODS For the analysis THADA and 18S rRNA gene expre...

Mancozeb is an ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamate (EBDC) fungicide. It is used in a wide range to control several of fungal diseases in field crops and fruits. Administration of mancozeb at a dose level of 1/10 LD50 3 times / week for six weeks induced marked histological and histochemical changes in thyroid gland of albino rat. The histological changes included dilation and congestion in blood vesse...

Introduction: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can invade the thyroid gland leading to unnecessary thyroidectomies with subsequent hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism. Thus, clinicopathological variables should be defined in order to predict thyroid gland invasion preoperatively.   Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1,465 patients with laryngeal SCC referr...

we report a 75 year - old man who presented with a cervical mass, dysphagia anil hoarseness, ct - xcan of neck showed a large cold nodule in the right lobe of thyroid gland, which was followed by surgical excision and its histopathologic exam revealed well-differentiated chondrosarcoma.

Thyroid hormones and oxidative stress play significant roles in the normal functioning of the female reproductive system. Nitric oxide (NO), a free radical synthesized by nitric oxide synthases (NOS), participates in the regulation of thyroid function and is also a good biomarker for assessment of the oxidative stress status. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate effects of th...
