En studie visar att det finns en tydlig koppling mellan oxidativ stress och graden av hypotyreos, underfunktion i sköldkörteln.
Morley pratar ju i podcastserien vi just gjort (avsnitt 255-257) om hur viktigt just järn och koppar är för våra cellers energiproduktion och sköldkörtelns funktion. Dvs att koppar behövs bl.a. för att reglera järn, och att oreglerat järn skapar oxidativ stress som är roten till många problem.
Morley mailade mig denna artikel (se länk nedan) som behandlar just kopplingen mellan hypotyreos (underfunktion i sköldkörteln) i form av Hashimotos (autoimmun sköldkörtelsjukdom, vilket är det vanligaste) och oxidativ stress.

Objective: We have aimed to study the relation between Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and thyroid autoantibodies and oxidative stress parameters in euthyroid, subclinical and overt hypothyroid stages.
Design and methods: A total of 124 patients were included in the study; 93 of whom were newly diagnosed with HT
(31 patients in each of the euthyroid, subclinical hypothyroid and overt hypothyroid subgroups), aged over 18 and had not received any prior treatment and 31 of whom were healthy volunteers.Results: Total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were higher, and total antioxidant status (TAS) and total thiol and arylesterase levels were lower in the overt hypothyroid group compared to other groups. TOS and OSI levels increased, and TAS levels decreased significantly in each phase from euthyroid, subclinical hypothyroid, to overt hypothyroid subgroups among HT patients. There was a negative correlation between TAS, log (paraoxonase1) and paraoxonase1/HDL and anti-thyroid peroxidase and a negative correlation between anti-thyroglobulin and total thiol. It was also determined that overt hypothroidism was an individual predictor that effects all of the oxidative stress parameters, but not total thiol, levels.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that oxidative stress increases continuously during the development of subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism in patients with HT. To determine whether this is a cause or result, randomized, controlled trials that study the effect of antioxidant treatment on the development of overt hypothyroidism and its consequences, e.g., increase in total cholesterol levels, may be performed in euthyroid and/or subclinical hypothyroid patients with HT.
