In animals with hypothyroidism, rutabaga sprouts enhanced the negative effect of iodine deficiency or sulfadimethoxine ingestion on the organism by increasing the WBC (RDI), TNF-α (RS), creatinine (RS), and triglyceride (RDI and RS) levels, as well as decreasing PLT (RS) level.
The levels of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-12, IL-10, (FINS), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were gradually declined in sequence of hypothyroidism group, normal thyroid group, and control group (P < 0.05).
Levels of pro‑inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑6 and tumor necrosis factor‑α were significantly higher in the hippocampal homogenates of hypothyroid rats.
In the present study we investigated the effect of radioactive iodine (I-131)-induced hypothyroidism on several parameters of vascular function, such as nitric oxide (NO), total nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and expression of NOS isoforms, as well as on interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as indicators of inflammation, in rats.
Compound mouse mutants generated by genetically deleting the Tnfα gene on a Tshr(-/-) (homozygote) or Tshr(+/-) (heterozygote) background resulted in full rescue of the osteoporosis, low bone formation, and hyperresorption that accompany TSH deficiency.
