Abstract

Infertility and reproductive impairment can be compromised by abnormalities in both endocrine and immune system. TNF-α promotes apoptotic cell death in fetal membrane tissues and pro-inflammatory, proapoptotic, and procoagulant properties of TNF-α probably contribute to widely accepted abortogenic profile of this cytokine. The aim of this study was to assess the alteration in the levels of TSH, FT3, FT4, TNF-α, osteopontin in pregnant and controls. Study subjects were 28 pregnant women, 28 non-pregnant women, and 28 healthy controls. All subjects underwent venous blood drawing for levels of TNF-α, osteopontin, and also hormonal assays including the levels of anti-TPO, anti-TG antibodies, TSH, FT3, FT4. Both patient and control groups are similar in terms of age. Pregnancy age in conceived patients is 23.64 ± 2.040. No statistically meaningful relation was found in correlation analysis between TNF-α and osteopontin among the groups (p = 0.963). Anti-thyroglobuline antibody and anti-microsomal antibody levels were found to be higher in patients with non-pregnant patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis than the control group (p < 0.001). No statistically meaningful relation was found in terms of TNF-α (p = 0.66) and osteopontin serum ...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
