Role of bioactive peptides in autoimmune thyroid disease

1996-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The thyroid gland is the target of the commonest forms of autoimmune disease. Development of goitre, with an increase in the number of thyrocytes and other cells in the thyroid, is one of manifestation of thyroid autoimmunity in some cases. The enlargement of the gland is not simply the effect of stimulation of the thyrocytes with TSH (Hashimoto's disease), or with thyroid stimulating antibodies (Graves' disease),...
