    Author: Herman WA, Lacka K.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2006 Mar; 20(117):345-9. PubMed ID: 16780272.
    Abstract:
    Changes in the anatomy of thyroid and age-related modifications in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis in aging men were described and reciprocal dependences with the cytokine network were also discussed. Pathophysiological role of the inflammatory cytokines in the promotion of thyroid dysfunctions, autoimmunological including were demonstrated. The modulating impact of environmental factors (micronutrient deficiencies, condiments) on thyroid metabolism was reported. The differences in symptomatology and therapy in thyroid dysfunction in elderly men were depicted. Furthermore the associations between thyroid status and gonadal as well as adrenal function were illustrated.
