Journal ArticleDOI
MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY: Autoimmune thyroid disease: old and new players
TL;DR: The last 10 years have seen some progress in understanding the etiology of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), and the female preponderance can now be explained - at least in part - by fetal microchimerism and X-chromosome inactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D deficiency is not associated with early stages of thyroid autoimmunity
TL;DR: Early stages of thyroid autoimmunity (in study A genetic susceptibility and in study B development of TPO-Ab) are not associated with low vitamin D levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural history of the transition from euthyroidism to overt autoimmune hypo- or hyperthyroidism: a prospective study
TL;DR: The data suggest that progression toward overt autoimmune hypothyroidism is a gradual process taking several years, but in contrast overt autoimmune hyperthyroidism develops faster in terms of months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discontinuation of Smoking Increases the Risk for Developing Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies and/or Thyroglobulin Antibodies: A Prospective Study
TL;DR: Discontinuation of smoking is associated with an increased risk for occurrence of TPO-Ab and/or Tg-Ab in serum, in line with the decreased risk of hypothyroidism in smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of stress in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disease: a prospective study.
TL;DR: The data suggest that stress is not involved in the pathogenesis of AITD, and hypothyroid cases had less negative feelings than controls at the time of diagnosis.
