Thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)), produced by the thyroid gland, plays an important role in regulation of metabolism, including directly boosts energy metabolism and triggers rapid protein synthesis and regulates mitochondrial gene transcription, etc. Iodine is necessary for the production of T3and T4, deficiency of Iodine can lead to enlarge thyroid grand and goitre.


     Thyroid hormone: Serum antibodies against three eye muscle antigens and the connective tissue antigen collagen XIII in patients with Graves' disease


In the study cohort consisted of patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism with and without ophthalmopathy, controls patients with other thyroid or other autoimmune disorders and healthy subjects, by The University of Sydney, Nepean Hospital, found that prevalences of positive antibody tests to calsequestrin (75.0%) and collagen XIII (43.8%) were significantly greater in Graves' disease (GD) patients with ophthalmopathy than in healthy subjects, whereas modest significance was demonstrated with antibodies against Fp, but not G2s. Significantly greater serum levels of antibodies against calsequestrin, G2s, and collagen XIII, but not Fp, were found in GD patients with ophthalmopathy compared to control patients without eye disease and healthy subjects(22).
