830 Words4 Pages

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

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).

    ATP content and mitochondrial respiration will be measured ex vivo in rats selected from Experiment 2A at each time point (0-3 hours, 2 and 7 days) to determine the effects of melatonin on mitochondrial energetics and ROS production. Data generated will allow a comparison to be done of ex vivo ATP content and mitochondrial respiration rates in lesion versus non-lesion with in vivo measures of ATP status obtained using MRI in the same rat. Comparison will be made between saline and melatonin treated rats. Experiment 1C: To determine the impact of mono therapy (Melatonin) following TBI on apoptotic markers.

    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.

    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

    Most of the calcium that people have is located in their urine. Once someone releases their urine, a lot of the calcium is flushed out of the body, putting a drastic decrease in the levels. This is the case for people who are diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism. Once the body is attacked with low calcium levels, the calcium is not released into the urine, but into the kidney. This may result in the production of kidney stones, or calcium deposits (Fulton 1201).

    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.

    Thyroid disorders are abnormal functions of the thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are types of thyroid disorders, affecting women older than 60 years more than men with a rate of 24%.1 People who suffer from thyroid disorders experience many symptoms such as a high blood pressure, development of a goiter, and muscle aches. Undiagnosed thyroid disorders people who unknowingly have one of thyroid disorders are approximately 43%, which indicates a high number of people who may experience severe symptoms.2 So, early diagnosis of thyroid dysfunctions can help a doctor to treat these disorders in early stages by using an appropriate medication. Diagnosing thyroid disorders is a process that incorporates many factors including clinical
