Introduction: Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid gland, which is characterisied by a breakdown in immune tolerance. The lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid leads to production of autioantibodies targeting thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). The clinical course of GD varies among patients and it is difficult to predict the relapse risk after antithyroid therapy withdrawal. It is believed that GD occurs due to genetic suspectibility ...

Thyroid disease is associated with atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease. This is undoubted for overt hypothyroidism, but is controversy in subclinical hypothyroidism hittle is known about the relationship between insulin resistance and thyroid function. It is well known that insulin resistance is the main part of metabolic syndrome. We aimed to investigate the relationship between thyroid function, body mass index (BMI) and homeostasis model assessment index for insulin resi...

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is very frequent condition in older population. If can occur in 12–20% of patients older than 60. It is well known today that thyroid hormones can increase gene expression of APO-B receptors in the liver and by this way improve catabolism of atherogenic lipoproteins. They also can regulate processes of contractility and weakening of heart muscle. Decrease of cardiac output and diastolic disfunction of left ventricle can be revealed in SH pa...
