Enhanced Salivary and General Oxidative Stress in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Women in Euthyreosis

Abstract: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases. Although HT is inextricably linked to oxidative stress, there have been no studies assessing salivary redox homeostasis or salivary gland function in patients with HT. This study is the first to compare antioxidant defense and oxidative stress biomarkers in non-stimulated (NWS) and stimulated (SWS) whole saliva and plasma/erythrocytes of HT patients compared to controls. The study included 45 women with HT in the euthyreosis pe… Show more

“…Nevertheless, in conditions with increased blood glucose levels, the glycation of proteins is increased [ 41 ]. Interestingly, enhanced glycation/oxidation of proteins was observed not only in patients with metabolic diseases, but also autoimmune, neurodegenerative, rheumatic and inflammatory disorders [ 19 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. However, fructose and ribose are much more reactive than glucose, as confirmed by the results of our study.…”

“…It is proven that both ROS and advanced glycation end products are capable of altering cells’ structure and functioning which often leads to damage of cellular DNA, excessive cell proliferation, genomic instability, as well as deactivation of enzymes [ 13 , 14 ]. Interestingly, excessive glycation and oxidation of proteins are important factors in the pathogenesis of aging as well as metabolic, autoimmune, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Therefore, it is not surprising that substances with antioxidant and anti-glyco-oxidant properties are still being sought.…”

“…A strong positive correlation between NOX and XO activity and CAT activity may suggest an adaptive response of the hypothalamus to increased ROS production triggered by HSD. It is well known that the strengthening of the enzymatic antioxidant barrier is the first line of defense against OS [ 53 ], and the decreased activity of SOD-1 and GPx in the hypothalamus of HSD rats is most likely caused by the exhaustion of antioxidant reserves under free radical overproduction (↑OSI).…”

“…The nonstimulated saliva was gathered for 10 minutes to avoid the patients' physiological and/or psychological tiredness, whereas SWS was collected in the same manner for 5 minutes. The saliva secretion was stimulated by the use of 10 μ L of 2% citric acid on the central part of the tongue every 30 seconds [ 12 , 33 36 ]. Subsequently, after saliva sampling, this oral bioliquid volume was measured using a calibrated pipette with an accuracy of 0.1 mL [ 34 ].…”
