A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between thyroid disease and different levels of iodine intake in mainland China
Background: Low-iodine intake has historically been an issue in China, causing widespread iodine deficiency diseases (IDD). China started to introduce universal salt iodization in 1995, but reports of increased thyroid disease are a concern and appropriate levels of iodine intake must be ...
Effects of Vitamin D deficiency treatment on metabolic markers in Hashimoto thyroiditis patients
Scientists predict epidemic of type 2 diabetes in near future.[1] Diabetes has high morbidity, mortality, and economic burden on society, the increase in cost is due to its complications and complexity of care. Type 2 diabetes occurs in genetically susceptible persons who are exposed to a number of environmental factors. Vitamin D deficiency might ...
Insufficient documentation for clinical efficacy of selenium supplementation in chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, based on a systematic review and meta-analysis
By a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate clinically relevant effects of selenium supplementation in patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. Controlled trials in adults (≥18 years) with autoimmune thyroiditis, comparing selenium with or without levothyroxine substi...
Selenium supplementation could restore euthyroidism in subclinical hypothyroid patients with autoimmune thyroiditis
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 ...
A concise review of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and the importance of iodine, selenium, vitamin D and gluten on the autoimmunity and dietary management of HT patients.Points that need more investigation
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a chronic autoimmune thyroid disease caused by an interaction between genetic factors and environmental conditions, both of which are yet to be fully understood. The management of HT depends on its clinical ...
THYROID STATUS, INSULIN SENSITIVITY AND GLUCOSE TOLERANCE IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE ADULTS BEFORE AND AFTER 36 WEEKS OF WHEY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTATION AND EXERCISE TRAINING
Research suggests that subclinical hypothyroidism influences insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Reductions in thyroid stimulating hormone concentrations are associated with exercise training, which improves insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. Purpose—A secondary ...
Vitamin A Affects Flatfish Development in a Thyroid Hormone Signaling and Metamorphic Stage Dependent Manner
Vitamin A (VA) and retinoid derivatives are known morphogens controlling vertebrate development. Despite the research effort conducted during the last decade, the precise mechanism of how VA induces post-natal bone changes, and particularly those operating through crosstalk with the thyroid hormones (THs) remain to be fully understood. ...
A 2016 Italian Survey about the Clinical Use of Selenium in Thyroid Disease
Selenium (Se) is a trace element that plays key roles in thyroid physiology. Se deficiency is associated with increased risk of thyroid disease. Some evidence suggests that Se supplementation may be beneficial in autoimmune thyroid disease (either hypo- or hyperthyroidism). Objectives: We sought to examine the use of Se in daily clinical practice among Italian endocr...
