The results of the study showed that the concentration of serum zinc and copper in patients with hyperthyroidism was higher than control(p <0.001). The concentration of serum selenium in patient with hyperthyroidism was lower than control (p <0.001). The concentration of serum zinc, copper and selenium in patients with hyperthyroidism was lower than control (p <0.001). The concentration of serum zinc in patients with hyperthyroidism was lower than control (p <0.001). Top Keywords T3 triiodothyronine, T4 tetraiodothyrionine, hyperthyroidism. Top |
