Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder that predominantly occurs in females. It is
associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but the molecular …

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is characterized by a mildly elevated concentration of
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) despite free thyroxine (FT4) and triiodothyronine (FT3) …

This review focuses on the effects of thyroid hormones in vascular and renal systems.
Special emphasis is given to the mechanisms by which thyroid hormones affect the …

Objective Thyroid disorders are accompanied by important changes in haemodynamic and
cardiac functions and renal sodium handling. Since nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in …

Inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) are closely related processes, as well exemplified in
obesity and cardiovascular diseases. OS is also related to hormonal derangement in a …

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is characterized by normal serum free T 4 and free T 3
levels and increased serum TSH levels. The relationship between SH and cardiovascular …

Hypothyroidism is associated with increased oxidative stress. The mechanism underlying
the endothelial dysfunction in thyroid disease is not yet clear. This study aims to investigate …

Thyroid disease has profound effects on cardiovascular function. Hypo-and hyperthyroidism,
for example, are associated with reduced and increased maximal endothelium-dependent …

Background Altered nitric oxide synthase (NOS) has been implicated in the pathophysiology
of heart failure (HF). Recent evidence links hypothyroidism to the pathology of HF. However …

Reduced nitric oxide availability and a heterogeneous pattern of nitric oxide synthase
activity in some tissues have been reported in hypothyroidism. This study aimed at …
