Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland (PSCCT) is a rare neoplasm of the thyroid with a poor prognosis.

Background and Objectives: Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is considered as a marker of cellular aging. Brown adipose tissue in women has been claimed to be associated with long life in women. Neuregulin-4 is a new batokine secreted from brown adipose tissue, and it is thought to play a role in the regulation of glucose, lipid metabolism and energy balance. The aim of the study is to examine LTL and serum Neuregulin-4 levels as well as their relations with disease activity, co...
