To evaluate whether patients with subclinical hypothyroidism have a disturbance in lipid metabolism, and whether supplemental L-thyroxine (L-T4) therapy would improve their lipid parameters, we… (More)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and/or autoimmune thyroid disease and coronary heart disease (CHD). Ninety seven patients diagnosed as having… (More)
We have attempted to determine whether xenotransplanted human thyroid tissue into nude mice would act as a physiological substitute for the mouse thyroid gland after the mice had been rendered… (More)
We tested the claim that uni- and multinodular goiter (UNG and MNG) and papillary carcinoma (PC) of the thyroid are autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) similar to Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's… (More)
We have attempted to determine whether interferon gamma (IFN gamma) would enhance, sustain or induce autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in xenotransplanted thyroid tissue from patients with Graves'… (More)
Serum thyroglobulin levels were serially measured in 25 normal pregnant women to evaluate thyroidal activity during normal pregnancy. Measurements included serum T3, T4, free T4, TBG, and TSH. Tg and… (More)
The production of interferon gamma (IFN gamma) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from normal persons and patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) has been studied in vitro either… (More)
The lymphokine, interferon gamma (IFN gamma) is considered to play an important role in the development of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD); the main source of IFN gamma has been shown to be CD4… (More)
The sera from two patients with Graves' disease gave abnormally high serum free T4 values as compared with the total T4 and other hormone values, suggesting the presence of autoantibodies to labelled… (More)
The production of interferon gamma (IFN gamma) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with nontoxic nodular goiter (NTNG), autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), and normal persons… (More)
