Due to stimulated overall metabolism, a state of nutritional inadequacy often ensues, during thyrotoxicosis. We aimed to investigate circulating levels of some major components of the system that regulates energy stores, glucose, and fat metabolism, during thyrotoxicosis compared to euthyroidism. Fasting serum ghrelin, leptin, adiponectin, insulin, glucagon, glucose, as well as body fat composition were analyzed during thyrotoxicosis in 40 hyperthyroid patients (50.

The findings in hyperthyroid patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) of antibodies against antigens shared between the thyroid and orbit, such as the TSH-receptor (TRAb) and a novel protein G2s (G2sAb), suggested a possible common therapeutic strategy. However, the gold therapeutic standard for hyperthyrodism in these patients remains still unsettled and is mainly based on personal experience. Studies on the effect of total thyroidectomy (TT) alone or followed by radioiodine ablation (RAI) of thyroid remnants showed often conflicting results.

With lower TSH-levels, the indication for substitution is individual, depending on other risk factors or diseases like dyslipidemia, smoking, goiter, pregnancy or clinical symptoms.

The radioiodine therapy can favour and induces of autommunological reaction in thyroid gland. The aim of the study was evaluation of antithyroid autoantibodies in patients with multinodular large toxic goiter treated with repeated doses of 131I before and after therapy. Studies were conducted in 24 women (age range: 65-84 yrs) with multinodular large toxic goiters--goiter volume assessed by USG over 100 ml.
