Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance in a female with its onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Females GDM are at higher risk of developing antenatal complications like preeclampsia pregnancy and increased type 2 well cardiovascular disorders later their life.

Thyroid hormones play essential roles in mammalian life, especially in neurodevelopment (Porterfield & Hendrich, 1993). This fact is clearly shown in patients with neurological deficits from endemic cretinism, who reside in iodine-deficient areas (DeLong et at., 1985). In addition to neurological impairments, thyroid dysfunctions, such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, lead to a wide varie...

BACKGROUND Hypothyroidism is a chronic condition of endocrine disorder and its precise molecular mechanism remains obscure. In spite of certain efficacy of thyroid hormone replacement therapy in treating hypothyroidism, it often results in other side effects because of its over-replacement, so it is still urgent to discover new modes of treatment for hypothyroidism. Sini decoction (SND) is a we...
