Selenium supplementation could restore euthyroidism in subclinical hypothyroid patients with autoimmune thyroiditis
Abstract
Intriduction: The thyroid is an organ with one of the highest selenium concentrations, containing many selenoproteins implicated in thyroid hormone metabolism. Treatment with levothyroxine has been recommended for all subclinical hypothyroid patients with TSH levels > 10 mU/L, whereas for those with TSH < 10 mU/L treatment remains controversial. Aim: A randomised controlled prospective study was performed to investigate the effects of Se treatment on ...

Primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism among vitamin D deficient Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients and the need for a parathyroid scan
Dear Editor, Vitamin D deciency/insufficiency is quite prevalent in many countries where has been studied. The reported vitamin D screening and supplementation, during the last years in Greece, in healthy persons without underlying risk factors (such as osteoporosis, osteomalakia, malabsorption syndromes, chronic kidney disease, medications, hyperparathyroidism, pregnant and lactating women, etc) [1], is expected to affect the national health care costs ...

Powdered black cumin seeds strongly improves serum lipids, atherogenic index of plasma and modulates anthropometric features in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Abstract
Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is associated with serious alterations in serum lipids and glucose homeostasis.
The aims of the current study were to evaluate the effect of powdered Nigella sativa on serum lipids, glucose
homeostasis and anthropometric variables in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Methods: Forty patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, aged between 22 and 50 years old, partic...

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Interacting with Th17 Cells May Be Involved in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Damage in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Purpose. To explore the possible role of MIF and Th17 cells in the thyroid-specific autoimmune damage of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Material and Methods. We enrolled 40 HT patients and 30 healthy controls and divided HT patients into euthyroid subset ( = 22) and subclinical or overt hypothyroidism subset ( = 18). The percentages of Th17 cells and expressions of MIF, interleukin 17A (IL-17A) mRNA in PBMCs, as well as serum ...

Low vitamin D status is associated with hypothyroid Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The association of low vitamin D status with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), which includes Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and Graves’ disease (GD), is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between vitamin D insufficiency and AITD, HT, and GD. DESIGN: Our cross-sectional study included patients who visited a tertiary hospital for thyroid evaluation or follow-up. A total of 776 patients in whom serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], thyroid function, ...

Is vitamin D related to pathogenesis and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis?
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate vitamin D status by measuring serum 25(OH)D levels in euthyroid patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) who lived and worked on the sunny island of Crete, Greece, and to evaluate whether vitamin D3 supplementation is benecial for the management of HT patients with vitamin D deciency. Subjects and Methods:We studied 218 HT patients, euthyroid Caucasian Cretan Greek citizens: 180 females and 38 males. Among these patients, 186 (85.3%) had vitamin ...

Improving iodine nutritional status and increasing prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis in children
ABSTRACT
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the link between excess iodine intake as evidenced by increased urinary iodine excretion (UIE) and autoimmune thyroiditis in children and to assess the correlation between UIE and thyroid microsomal antibody (thyroid peroxidase [TPO]) titers in children. Materials and Methods: All children with goiter between age group 6 and 12 years, were subjected to blood tests for free thyroxine, thyroid stimulating hormone, and TPO ...

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: From Genes to the Disease
Abstract: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is the most prevalent autoimmune thyroid disorder. Intrathyroidal lymphocytic infiltration is followed by a gradual destruction of the thyroid gland which may lead to subclinical or overt hypothyroidism. Biochemical markers of the disease are thyroid peroxidase and/or thyroglobulin autoantibodies in the serum which are present with a higher prevalence in females than in males and increase with age. Although exact mechanisms of aetiology and pathogenesis of the disorder are not completely ...
