ABSTRACT

Introduction: The aim of the study is to find the antioxidant status in hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism otherwise known as under active thyroid. It takes place when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone for the body need. It is the most common thyroid disorder. It occurs mostly in women and increase with age

Material and Methods: 40 subjects were divided into two groups of normal healthy individual ( 20 in numbers ) as Group I and hypothyroidism patients ( 20 in numbers) as Group l l from dental outpatient department of Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals. Blood samples were collected from the participants and it was distributed in plain collection tube and centrifuged in 2500 rpm for 10 minutes. The Serum was …show more content…

Conclusion: Our study revealed that there is an imbalance of antioxidant status in women with PCOS. Increased oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant capacity may contribute to the increased risk of CVD in women with Hypothyroidism. Further research on oxidative stress in hypothyroidism is needed.

This leads to lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA loss but can interfere with physiology and intracellular signal transduction. The resulting change in intracellular redox status leads to the activation of protein kinase, for example, tyrosine kinase, protein kinase c, and the mario-activated protein kinase cascade leading to modified cellular functions.

Oxidative stress compounds hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a state that increases the oxidative stress. In this study, the biomarker is high in MDA level therapy-innocent primary hypothyroid patients. After treatment with L-thyroxine, the pressure marker is reduced to a considerable degree. MDA can also be used as a useful biomarker to measure and monitor oxidative stress. The role of antichrist in the form of selenium is incomplete (5). In our research we find antioxidant status in hypothyroidism

CASE: John Smith is an 11 year old Asian boy with PMHx of hypothyroidism x 2 years, on levothyroxine 25 mcg daily presented with painful progressively enlarging goiter that started 2 months ago. The pain is described as constant shooting and radiating to the neck, rated 6/10, nothing made it better, moving his neck made it worse. Pt states that the pain is mostly localized to the right, and it is associated with compressive symptoms like difficulty breathing and swallowing, but no change in voice. The swelling was painful and progressive and at the time of examination was 2 × 2 cm on the right side of the neck and was moving with deglutition. She had no other complaints and her family history was noncontributory.

Pathophysiology ANAT1066 Case study assessment Case study (b) INTRODUCTION Base on the clinical and laboratory data provided, the patient is suffering from Graves’ disease, a cause of hyperthyroidism which is a type of thyrotoxicosis. Clinical manifestation of Graves’ disease (GD) includes diffuse thyroid enlargement, palpitation and hyperthyroidism (Fukishima et al 2009). Other symptoms are ophthalmophathy which result in exopthalmos (bulging of the eye), and dermopathy (oedema) (mencori et al 2014). Hyperthyroidism has some symptoms such as heat intolerance, sweating and weight loss (mencori et al 2014). Tachycardia (a faster than normal heart rate at rest) and bruit (indicate hyper dynamic circulation) are among

The different methods of intercellular signaling are gap junctions, local/paracrine hormones, and endocrine hormones. Gap junctions are direct connections that permit electrical and chemical signals to pass between cells. Tunnels that directly link cells. For example, the heart allows ions to flow directly from one heart cell to another.

An unbalance in these hormones would cause changes in the function and structure of the gland. In the setting where there isn’t a sufficient amount of Thyroxin synthesized by the gland, there is an increase in TSH production. Over production of TSH causes hyperplasia of the gland just to match normal thyroid levels. This would then cause a goiter to form. When the goiter is grown significantly, pressure is put on the esophagus and trachea, causing respiratory

Recently, doctors have found a treatment for hypoparathyroidism. But, the treatment results in regular injections of calcium into the body. It is like receiving another IV, except the fact that this is pure calcium. Studies show that this helps cure the disorder little by little, but there are serious side effects that occur as the patient gradually gets older. The side effects of the calcium injection include “cancer, loss of hair, thyroid getting destroyed, and diabetes” (Timmons M. 234).

Hypoparathyroidism is not only a disorder, but a cure for another calcification deficiency, Basal Ganglia. The Basal Ganglia is grey matter near the base of the cerebral hemispheres, consisting of the corpus striatum (Macpherson 61). There are a lot of people who are being treated for basal ganglia today with hypoparathyroidism. The reason why hypoparathyroidism is a cure for basal ganglia is because it shows up in the hormones that are located in the brain. The basal ganglia makes it possible for a person to release a great amount of insulin throughout the brain area and into the rest of the body.

Also, fertility and pregnancy issues can arise. High blood levels can cause birth defects in the child which is why it is necessary to maintain the certain levels of glucose. This also raises the chance of having a miscarriage and diabetes complications after the child is delivered. PCOS is related to diabetes due to its resistance of insulin. This causes the infertility of women, which may lead to high insulin levels.

There are 2 different types of thyroid disease, Hyperthyroidism is where the thyroid is overactive and the pother type is Hypothyroidism is where the thyroid is underactive. The causes of thyroid problems can be different types of hyperthyroidism such as, Graves’ disease which having more than enough of thyroid hormone, Toxic adenomas is nodules that’s in/near the thyroid glands that start to upset the body’s chemical balance, Subacute Thyroiditis which is inflammation of the gland that releases an overload of hormones, there’s much more that can lead to be cancerous growths or pituitary gland defect. The causes of hypothyroidism are autoimmune disease, treatment for hyperthyroidism, radiation therapy, thyroid surgery and medications. Prices can vary

In Graves’ disease, the immune system creates autoantibodies that mimic the function of TSH and stimulate production of more thyroid hormones. Consequently, this leads to hypersecretion of thyroid hormones. Excess thyroid hormones increase the body’s metabolic rate and speed up various body functions. • Graves’ disease is characterized

It also has a high comorbidity with other diseases. Thyroid deficiencies are normally followed in patients that are diagnosed with bipolar disorders, depression, and it increases the risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Not only has it been found to increase the effect of mental disorders, but if the patient does not improve with treatment then additional diseases may play a role in the unsuccessful treatment. Additional comorbidities that may effect the thyroid are; menopause, andropause, post-menopausal syndrome, and insulin resistance. Each one of these comorbidities have hormone imbalances which may make it difficult to treat

We also want to study a spectrum of different physiological parameters between the SLT user and non user groups from a mechanistic view point by measuring total haematological parameters and some clinico biochemical parameters like, random sugar, urea, creatinine, lipid profile, ESR, C-Reactive Protein either from blood or serum, anti oxidant assays were performed from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and red blood cell (RBC) membrane to measure the extent of oxidative stress, cell cycle analysis of PBMC was done using flowcytometry to detect the distribution of DNA content in different phases, level of different pro- and anti- apoptotic markers such as p53, p21, Bax, Bcl2 were analysed. Structural changes of RBC were analysed microscopically among the studied groups. This is perhaps the first ever exhaustive report on menace of SLT on Indian population which will surely reveal a therapeutic approach to treat the
