Drugs are the largest group of substances inactivated by the liver. They may have a stimulatory or inhibitory effect on the system of hepatic enzymes. Metizol is a thyrostatic belonging to the group of trimidazole derivatives. Its mechanism of action consists in inhibition of triiodothyronine++ and thyroxin secretion by the thyroid, owing to inactivation of the enzymes causing iodination of the thyrosine groups of thyroglobulin. This relatively little toxic drug when used for a prolonged period may lead to hyperaemia of the thyroid, and in pregnant women (by passing through the placenta) its side effects may threaten the foetus. The future mother affected with hyperthyroidism should receive full Metizol doses to avoid the danger of a thyroid crisis. A radical improvement of her health should be reached before childbirth.

Methimazole (MMI) is an emerging endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) due to its increasing use in the treatment of thyrotoxicosis (hyperthyroidism), but its potential impact on amphibian development remains largely unexplored. In the present study, the effects of 8 mg/L MMI and 1 μg/L thyroxine (T4) exposure on skeletal ossification and muscle development in Bufo gargarizans tadpoles were comprehensively investigated by double skeletal staining, histological analysis and RNA sequencing. Our results indicated that MMI treatment down-regulated the expression levels of ossification-related genes (e.

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare but significant complication of hyperthyroidism, characterized by episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis and associated hypokalemia. This case report details a 30-year-old Latin American male with a history of Graves' disease, presenting with acute muscle weakness and hypokalemia. The patient reported transient episodes of weakness over recent weeks, culminating in a severe episode prompting emergency evaluation.

Hypothyroidism is known to affect memory consolidation, and our prior research highlighted the potential of chrysin as a therapeutic agent to restore cognitive function. The present study aimed to investigate the action mechanism of chrysin on memory deficits in hypothyroid in C57BL/6 female mice. We assessed cognitive flexibility, declarative, working, and aversive memories while analyzing the BDNF/TrkB/AKT/Creb neuroplasticity signaling pathway and synaptic function in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

Carotid artery dissection (CAD) is a recognized cause of ischemic stroke (IS) in young adults. At the same time, hyperthyroidism, particularly in the context of thyroid storm (TS), can also lead to IS through mechanisms related and unrelated to atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the coexistence of CAD and thyrotoxicosis is extremely rare.

Article Synopsis
- Graves' disease (GD), known as 'Ying Bing' in traditional Chinese medicine, has been treated with the classic herbal formula Haizao Yuhu decoction for over 400 years, and Pingkang granules, a modified version, has shown promise but lacks comprehensive clinical evidence.
- A study was conducted to gather high-quality evidence on the effectiveness of Pingkang granules for GD through a randomized controlled trial involving 186 patients assigned to different treatment groups over 12 weeks.
- Results indicated that all treatment regimens, including various combinations of Pingkang granules and methimazole, significantly reduced serum free triiodothyronine (FT) levels, demonstrating potential effectiveness in managing Graves' hyperthyroidism.
