patients with turner’s syndrome (ts) are at an increased risk of developing autoimmune thyroid disease (atd). the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-tpo) antibodies and atd in children and adolescent girls with ts. it also assessed the influence of karyotype on the development of thyroid disease. sixty eight patients with ts were compared with 68 a...

background: infections attributed to helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) involve almost half of the world's population. one of the effects is auto-antibody induction and cross-reaction with numerous proteins in the body. as a result of its widespread prevalence and importance, this study evaluates the associations between h. pylori and thyroid auto-antibodies. materials and methods: this study en...

background: evidences suggest an association between the prevalence of thyroid peroxidase (anti-tpo) and anti thyroglobulin (anti-tg) with recurrent abortions and infertility. iodine deficiency was once endemic in iran and little data is available about the prevalence of these antibodies in different groups of fertile or infertile individuals. objective: this case control study was designed to ...

introduction : in order to evaluate the role of thyroid autoimmunity in patients with goiter, this study was done 10 years after implementation of iodine supplementation program ( iodised salt). the serum levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti tpo) and thyroglobulin antibodies (anti tg) were studied in a group of patients with simple goiter and compared with normal controls. materials an...

type i diabetes mellitus (dm) is frequently associated with autoimmune thyroid disease (atd). association of atd and type i dm has been described with varying frequencies but there is still debate about the situation in the iranian population. we investigated the prevalence of anti thyroid peroxidase (anti-tpo) antibodies and atd in children and adolescents with type i dm. a total of 145 patien...

about 8% of the general population suffers from autoimmune diseases, from which 78% are women. one of the most important causes of thyroid diseases is autoimmunity in origin, and it seems that people with thyroid diseases present more signs of asthma. this study was therefore designed to investigate the frequency of autoimmune thyroid diseases in women suffering from bronchial asthma. in a cros...

Background: Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO antibody) is a member of thyroid autoantibodies which are important in inducing and also diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases. Thyroid autoimmunity can cause several forms of thyroiditis and abnormal thyroid functions, ranging from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum levels of anti-TPO ...

Monoclonal antibodies against prostaglandin H (PGH) synthase have been used to precipitate cyclooxygenase and peroxidase activities from detergent-solubilized preparations of ram seminal vesicle microsomes. Approximately 85% of the solubilized cyclooxygenase activity was precipitated using an excess of anti-PGH synthase antibody; under similar conditions, immunoprecipitation of 60% of the diphe...

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as a promising material in disease diagnostics due to their potential enhance detection sensitivity, facilitate concentration and purification of target substances diverse samples, enable favorable color-based detection. In this study, antibody-conjugated MNPs were successfully synthesized validated through two appropriate methods: the measurement MNPs...
