Abstract:Hypothyroidism can induce oxidative stress. Nano‐selenium (Nano Sel) has antioxidant effects. The current research explored Nano Sel effects on hepatic and renal oxidative damage induced by hypothyroidism in rats. Animals were grouped into (1) Control; (2) Propylthiouracil (PTU) group which received water mixed with 0.05% of PTU; (3) PTU‐Nano Sel 50; (4) PTU‐Nano Sel 100; and (5) PTU‐Nano Sel 150. Besides PTU, the PTU‐Nano Sel groups were treated with 50, 100, or 150 μg/kg of Nano Sel intraperitoneally. Treatm… Show more
