The thyroid gland was involved in only 13 per cent of cases.Conclusion:Thyroid gland involvement is not common in hypopharyngeal cancer. Cases that involved the post-cricoid area, subglottic extension, extralaryngeal spread or prior tracheostomy were associated with a higher risk of thyroid gland ...

Thyroid peroxidase is localized to the thyroid gland and is only involved in thyroid hormone synthesis. Eosinophil peroxidase is more closely related to MPO in structure and function, even though it is a monomer. This enzyme is located in eosinophils and is considered mainly responsible for ...
We investigated the expression domains of several genes involved in axial as well as mediolateral patterning of the nervous system of the indirect developing enteropneustBalanoglossus misakiensis. By using the pan-neuronal markerElavfor differentiating neurons22,23,24, we found that the condensed par...
Selenium is an essential trace mineral, involved in the immune system and in several thyroid functions. Glutathione peroxidase, deiodinase isoenzymes, and thioredoxin reductase—which protect the thyroid gland from free radicals—are just a few of the > 20 human selenoproteins. The thyroid gland cont...
In addition, thyroid hormones are involved in other disorders, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome in calves [15]. Consequences of thyroid gland dysfunction are widely described in humans, and especially in women [16]. There are close links between thyroid metabolism and milk production in...
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARA) is involved in a variety of cellular functions in the liver of various species (Rakhshandehroo et al., 2010) including ruminants (Bionaz et al., 2013). Thus, at least in monogastrics, PPARA along with its target genes CPT1A, HMGCS...
