Influence of Antioxidant Correction on Structural and Functional Changes of the Thyroid Gland in Case of Experimental Iodine Deficient Hypothyroidism

Abstract

Experimental iodine deficient hypothyroidism is manifested by an increase the activity of oxidative processes and a decrease the indicators of antioxidant defense of blood, which is accompanied by the appearance of destructive changes in the tissues of thyroid gland. The comparative analysis of the obtained results confirms the advantage of α-tocopherol using in the complex with potassium iodide for the correction of hypothyroidism, antioxidant imbalance and structural changes of the thyroid gland.
