Evaluation of enzyme glutathione peroxidase level and some biochemical variables in the serum of patients with hashimoto's thyroiditis

In areas with adequate iodine, hashimoto's thyroiditis is one of the most causes of essential hypothyroidism and goiter. It is one of the foremost common immune system infections. It is seen between the ages of 30-50 and the rate in women is 15-20 times that of men. HT (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), moreover known as "chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis" and "incessant immune system thyroiditis", is the foremost common cause of goiter and obtained hypothyroidism in nations with satisfactory iodine admissions. Its characteristic include is that provocative cells penetrate the thyroid and create thyroid-specific autoantibodies such as anti-TG and anti-TPO. The level of glutathione peroxidase, anti-TG, anti-TPO, T4, TSH, and lipid profile high sensitive. The study was revealed, a significant increase in serum glutathione peroxidase and anti-TG levels in the patient's group when compared with the control. It was concluded that the increase of gultathione proxidase and anti-TG levels might lead to damage of thyroids and may be cause other disease.
