“…Considerable evidence suggests that thyroid gland activity and/or serum TH concentrations increase when birds become acclimated to cold environments [ 8 , 9 , 15 17 ]. Previous studies [ 10 12 , 49 51 ] have also demonstrated that animals living in cold regions have higher T3 and/or T4 levels than their counterparts living in warmer regions. Similar results were found in the present study.…”

“…Throughout human evolution, various evolutionary processes, including natural selection, likely shaped diversity in human thyroid physiology across populations living in different geographies in the face of different ecological pressures [ 164 ].…”

“…Genetic studies have found two genes involved in the thyroid hormone pathway showing strong signatures for positive selection in Mbuti and Baiaka pygmies, who are closely related to the Efe and live in the same forest [ 166 ]. This suggests that these populations may have adapted to an iodine-deficient diet through genetic adaptation [ 164 ]. Whether other populations have evolved other genetic or cultural adaptations in response to similar dietary challenges, such as in the case of lactose intolerance where various populations evolved different adaptations, would be an interesting avenue to explore in future research.…”

“…Ключові слова: щитоподібна залоза, функціональна активність, вік, дефіцит йоду, 131 I, органічний йод. У загальній системі контролю і регулювання, яка в організмі відбувається за безпосередньої участі ендокринної системи, одне з провідних місць належить щитоподібній залозі (ЩЗ) [18]. Водночас у структурі ендокринної захворюваності близько 47% становить саме тиреоїдна патологія, яка продовжує зростати [4].…”
