MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN THE THYROID GLAND UNDER TRACE ELEMENT DEFICIENCY
Keywords:
thyroid gland, microelement deficiency, morphometry, microcirculation, apoptosis, CD95, CD163, macrophages, thyrocytes, fibrosisAbstract
The study evaluates morphological and microcirculatory changes in the thyroid gland under microelement deficiency (Mg, Fe, Se, Zn) in rats. Deficiency led to reduced gland mass, impaired microcirculation, decreased epithelial height, follicular remodeling, and increased stromal component. The most pronounced alterations were observed under combined deficiency, indicating progressive structural and functional impairment of the thyroid gland.
