  Analyzing Neuro-Hormonal Dynamics in a Murine Model of Hyperthyroidism Following the Administration of Probiotic Microbial Strains
  Author(s): Sorina Alexandru*
  
  Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder characterized by an excess of thyroid hormone production. While conventional treatment options such as antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery are effective, they can be associated with side effects and may not address underlying dysregulation of the gut microbiota observed in hyperthyroid patients. Probiotic microbial strains have emerged as a potential adjunctive therapy for hyperthyroidism due to their ability to modulate gut microbiota composition and function. This article reviews the current understanding of neuro-hormonal dynamics in hyperthyroidism and the potential impact of probiotic microbial strains on these dynamics, focusing on findings from a murine model of hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a condition characterized by elevated levels of thyroid hormones, primarily thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which.. Read More»
