Selenium Supplementation Alleviates Autoimmune Thyroiditis by Regulating Expression of Thl/Th2 Cytokines

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element. Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are destructive inflammatory or anti-receptor autoimmune diseases characterized by reactivity to self-thyroid antigens. However, the effects of Se on the cytokines in AITD are still unclear. So we researched the role of...

Summary:Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element. Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are destructive inflammatory or anti-receptor autoimmune diseases characterized by reactivity to self-thyroid antigens. However, the effects of Se on the cytokines in AITD are still unclear. So we researched the role of Selenium (Se) and Thl/Th2 cytokine productions in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD).
