[111,112]. A study in older Down syndrome (DS) patients having AD suggests that APOE2 might protect against hypothyroidism; however, APOE4 predispose towards the same [113]. This effect is only observed in females, and no such correlation was noted for males in the same study. It is ...
33 Poor fertility is seen in older animals as a result of depressed libido and poor semen quality in males. Females may suffer from irregular cyclicity, decreased conception rates, abortion, and birth of stillborn or weak offspring. Poor milk production may also been seen in affected ewes and ...
Both overt hypothyroidism as well as minor elevations of serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels associated with thyroid hormones within their respective reference ranges (termed subclinical hypothyroidism) are relatively common in older individuals. There is growing evidence that treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism...
