Impact of Thyroid Dysfunction on An tioxidant Capacity, Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase Activity

Abstract

Background: In hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, disturbance of oxidant/antioxidant balance leads to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The aim of this study is assaying total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in patients with hypo-and hyperthyroidism in order to control the progression of its pathology and health care.
