Your thyroid is a tiny butterfly-shaped glad located in your neck. It’s what I like to call your hormonal power plant because it’s responsible for producing hormones that power up EVERY single one of your cells. That’s right. Your thyroid is a big deal. HUGE. Your cells cannot repr...
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is an enzyme that participates in thyroid hormone biosynthesis. TPO is also a major autoantigen in autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). In this review, we summarize the latest developments in the field of TPO research. We present the current understanding of immunodominant ...
In a lot of cases, the “normal” lab results do not reflect what is actually happening within the body. For example, in the case of subclinical hypothyroidism, whileT4 and T3 thyroid hormone levelsmay be within normal ranges, thyroid antibody levels may be elevated. Antibodies can be elevate...

irrespective of the genotype [49]. Histone deacetylation can also epigenetically alter gene expression. Among genes that are regulated by deacetylation in thyroid cancer are “differentiation genes”, such as sodium-iodide symporter (NIS), thyroglobulin, TTF-1, and thyroid peroxidase [50]. However,...
The most common cause of persistent hyperthyroidism is actually related to treating hypothyroidism: taking too high a dose of thyroid hormone replacement, which is prescribed to treat underproduction of thyroid hormone. To prevent this from happening, it is important to have your thyroid levels monito...
Immunostudies for cytokeratin (CK) 7, CK20, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, HER2 NEU and thyroid transcription factor-1 were negative, indicating that breast, lung, pancreatic and biliary tree metastases were unlikely. Immunoperoxidase studies were positive for CK5/6, epithelial membrane ...

Selenium (Se) is a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase and it is required to produce type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase, which is needed in the thyroid gland to synthesize the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3) [84]. Se-deficient diets are associated with inhibited immune organ developmen...
