Abstract
The Effects of Hyperthyroidism on Lipid Peroxidation, Erythrocyte Glutathione and Glutathione PeroxidaseThe aim of this study was to determine if lipid peroxidation, glutathione, and glutathione peroxidase levels can be effected by hyperthyroidism. Twenty-three subjects with hyperthyroidism (18 females/5 males), and 19 euthyroid subjects (11 females/8 males) were examined in this study. Plasma and erythrocytes malondialdehyde (MDA), erythrocytes glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) were measured. Results show that an increase in lipid peroxidation was observed in the hyperthyroid patients (p < 0.001). This was accompanied by a decrease in glutathione and glutathione peroxidase in the same subjects (p < 0.001). The results suggest that hyperthyroidism has some effects on lipid peroxidation and free radical scavengers.
