Possible Role of Inadequate Quantities of Intra-Thyroidal Bromine, Calcium and Magnesium in the Etiology of Female Subclinical Hypothyroidism by V Zaichick in IGWHC in Lupine Publishers
Objective: Subclinical hypothyroidism does affect fertility.
The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism is 10-15 times more common
in women than in men. Many chemical elements play important role in
thyroid function and fertility. The aim of this exploratory study was to
evaluate whether significant differences of chemical element contents
exist between female and male thyroids and how they can be related to
the etiology of subclinical hypothyroidism.
Methods: Thyroid tissue levels of Br, Ca, Cl, I, K, Mg, Mn,
and Na were prospectively evaluated in 105 healthy persons (33 females
and 72 males). Tissue samples were used for chemical element
measurements, employing instrumental neutron activation analysis with
high resolution spectrometry of short-lived radionuclides.
Results: It was found that the Br thyroid content of females
was significantly higher than that of males, while the Ca and Mg
contents were lower.
Conclusion: Inappropriate content of intra-thyroidal Br, Ca
and Mg can be associated with the etiology of female subclinical
hypothyroidism.
