Gut microbiota in experimental murine model of Graves’ orbitopathy established in different environments may modulate clinical presentation of disease
25 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variation in induced models of autoimmunity has been attributed to the housing environment and its effect on the gut microbiota. In Graves' disease (GD), autoantibodies to the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) cause autoimmune hyperthyroidism.
