Pathogenesis of thyroid autoimmune disease: the role of cellular mechanisms
Publication date: October 2016 Source:Endocrinología y Nutrición (English Edition), Volume 63, Issue 8 Author(s): Ana Maria Ramos-Leví, Mónica Marazuela Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves’ disease (GD) are two very common organ-specific autoimmune diseases which are characterized by circulating antibodies and lymphocyte infiltration. Although humoral and cellular mechanisms have been classically considered separately in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), recent research suggests a close reciprocal relationship between these two immune pathways. Several B- and T-cell activation pathways t...

Vitamin D status in Egyptian euthyroid multinodular non-toxic goiter patients and its correlation with TSH levels
Conclusions Patients with euthyroid MNG have lower levels of vitamin D and TSH levels correlate with vitamin D levels in euthyroid MNG patients. In addition, 25 OH vitamin D was a significant independent predictor for TSH levels among euthyroid MNG patients. We recommend hypovitaminosis D evaluation and correction in patients with MNG.
