Thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine disorders. In the present study 51 hypothyroid cases and 50 Euthyroid controls were analysed for Thyroid Profile, Lipid Profile, Body Mass Index (BMI) waist circumference, Hip circumference and waist hip ratio. Out of 51 Hypothyroid subjects studied, 5 are having subclinical Hypothyroidism, 20 are having mild Hypothyroidism, 14 Subjects are having...

A morphometric analysis of Purkinje cells in the developing cerebellar cortex of the chick was performed in normal animals and embryos made hypothyroid by one or two spaced injections of tetramethylthiourea. Profiles of 162 Purkinje cells, from Golgi-Cox treated sections were analysed. Soma area, perimeter and circularity index, cumulative length of the dendrites and number of dendritic bifurca...

Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones. Mutations in TPO gene are associated with hypothyroidism. The objective of present study is to characterize the common mutations in TPO that affect the menstrual problems as well as pregnancy loss. In our study 200 hypothyroid patients (case) and their corresponding sex and age matched 200 normal individuals (co...

introduction: fasting during the holy month of ramadan is an obligation for all adult, healthy muslims. as several studies have indicated, both fasting and energy restriction can alter thyroid hormone metabolism and affect the clinical features and well-being of hypothyroid patients. hypothyroidism is more prevalent among women and the elderly. its prevalence has been reported to be 4-8% of the...

Background: Hypothyroidism is associated with a wide spectrum of reproductive disorders ranging from abnormal sexual development, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. The present study was conducted to assess thyroid in age group.Materials Methods: 84 women group 15-45 years were divided patients into 2 groups 42 each. Group I II other than disorders. Parameters such as parity, menarche, ...

Introduction: There is inconsistent data regarding COVID-19 prognosis in patients with background hypothyroid disorder. The present study aimed to evaluate the severity of symptoms and blood parameters hypothyroidism.

introduction: this investigation was undertaken to examine the influence of thyroid hormone on the development of embryonic cns during embryogenesis pattern and compare the microscopical and macroscopical structure of the brain in the control and experimental fetuses. materials and method: 40 rats, made hypothyroid by chemical thyroidectomy with (ptu). three weeks later, after t4 and tsh examin...

Postmenopausal women frequently develop hypothyroidism. Estrogen depletion is accompanied by an increase of IL-6, accelerating bone turnover. The influence of hypothyroidism on bone metabolism in postmenopausal women is poorly understood. The aim of the study was an attempt to clarify the role of interleukin-6 on RANKL-RANK/osteoprotegerin system in hypothyroid ovariectomized mice. The study wa...

The effects of long-term cold exposure on brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis in hypothyroid rats have been examined. Thyroid ablation was performed in normal rats after 2 mo of exposure to 4 degrees C, when BAT hypertrophy and thermogenic activity were maximal. After ablation, hypothyroid and normal controls remained in the cold for 2 additional months. At the end of the 4-mo cold exposur...

Gustatory differences in Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) tasters and non-tasters were studied in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid subjects. After presenting for PTC sensitivity, gustatory responses to 7 dilutions of test solutions for glucose (sweet), sodium chloride (salt), citric acid (sour) and quinine sulphate (bitter) were studied in PTC tasters and non-tasters. The intensity and pleasantness respon...
