The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there are thyroid diseases in which breast cancer will appear later as well the role autoimmunity. This a retrospective observational study. A total 410 females (thyroid surgery and cancer) 524 only) were compared with regard pathological findings, hormones, autoimmunity type cancer. Thyroid autoimmunity, especially antithyroid peroxidase antibodies...

Physiological effects of thyroid hormones are mediated primarily by binding of triiodothyronine to specific nuclear receptors. Organ-specific changes in production of triiodothyronine from its prohormone, thyroxine, have been hypothesized to target the action of thyroid hormones on the mammary gland and play a role in mediating or augmenting a galactopoietic response to bovine somatotropin (bST...

Current knowledge on adverse endocrine disruption effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) among newborn infants is limited and often controversial. To investigate the associations between prenatal exposure to major POPs and thyroid hormone levels among newborn infants, both cord serum or maternal serum concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (P...

Neurologic development follows orderly patterns that can be severely disturbed when thyroid hormones are deficient or excessive. Should this occur at appropriate development periods, irreversible neurologic damage can result. The nature of the deficits depends upon the specific development period and the severity of the thyroid disturbance. PCBs and dioxins are structurally similar to the thyro...

Background Thyroid disease is a common complication of systemic lupus erythematosus manifesting in 30% cases due to disturbance autoimmune mechanisms. Objectives evaluating the effect thyroid lesion on course based clinical and laboratory parameters, level antibodies hormones. Methods Among 65 examined patients with SLE (63 women 2 men aged 19-65) we revealed disorder third patients. Patients w...

Background and Aims: Thyroid hormones have an important role in metabolism and regulation of the red blood cells (RBCs). Thyroid dysfunction induces various effects on blood cells such as anemia through reducing the oxygen metabolism. For the first time, we aimed to determine the effects of severity activation of hypothyroidism on RBCs indices in patients with hypothyroidism. Materials and Met...

Background and Objective: Neonatal sepsis (NS) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates. Correct and early diagnosis of NS can prevent its complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the levels of thyroid hormones and procalcitonin (PCT) with NS. Materials and Methods: In this case control study, 40 term neonates with proven NS diagnosis and ...

Coastal waters in northern part of Hormuz Strait receive large inputs of anthropogenic pollutants. This study was conducted to determine the effects of environmental contaminants on plasma enzymes, thyroid hormones and biochemical blood parameters of Periophthalmus argentilineatus to monitor marine pollution from northern part of Hormuz strait. For this purpose, a total of 90 specimens were col...

THYROID PHYSIOLOGY The thyroid gland lies inferior to the thyroid cartilage and is composed of 2 lobes that lie on either side of the trachea (Figure 1). The lobes are joined by a small band of tissue called the isthmus. Normally not visible on inspection, the thyroid gland can be palpated during swallowing when it is upwardly displaced. Thyroid tissue is highly vascular and is composed of foll...
