Oxidative Stress and Anti-Oxidant Metabolites in Patients with Hyperthyroidism: Effect of Treatement

Abstract

Our data confirm the presence of oxidative stress and decreased anti-oxidant metabolites in hyperthyroid patients, which are corrected in euthyroidism, without any influence of thyrostatic drugs per se. Nutritional support with antioxidant agents, which are defective during hyperthyroidism, is warranted.
