Antioxidants in the Treatment of Graves Disease

Abstract: An antioxidant mixture (LAROTABE) was evaluated in the treatment of Graves disease. Fifty-six hyperthyroid patients were treated with methimazol (MMI) (A), LAROTABE (B), or MMI plus LAROTABE (C). According to a clinical score, improvement was obtained at 8 weeks in A and 4 weeks in B and C. Group A diminished their thyroid hormone concentration to normal levels, while patients with LAROTABE did not reduce T3 and T4 unless MMI was introduced. Hyperthyroid patients had increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content and… Show more

“…Plasma MDA levels with hyperthyroidism prior to treatment to be significantly higher than control group, with the levels decreasing after treatment [20]. Consistent with other studies [21,22], in our study MDA levels were higher in patients with hyperthyroidisms compared to control group ( heart, hepatic and brain tissue [23,24]. It is known that lipid peroxidation and generation of ROS leads to oxidative stress and damage.…”

“…In this case, by externally providing antioxidant molecules, the possibility of preventing the development progression of overt hypothyroidism in HT should be considered and prospective studies should be planned in this direction. Likewise, positive effects of antioxidant treatment in Graves' patients on Graves' progression and complications have been shown before (28).…”

“…2A), the resident macrophages of the liver (29,39). In man, hyperthyroidism is characterized by significant changes in circulating parameters related to oxidative stress, including (i) higher levels of lipid peroxidation indicators (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49); (ii) enhancement in hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxide levels (49); and (iii) diminished levels of antioxidants such as a-tocopherol (41), coenzyme Q (44), ascorbic acid (41), and reduced thiols (42,46,50). These changes correlated with the enhancement in urinary lipid peroxidation products (40) and chemiluminescence response (51) and are either significantly reduced or normalized by thyrostatic therapy or antioxidant supplementation (40-46, 49, 50).…”
