Study on the antioxidative capability and Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit mRNA expression in myocardinm of hypothyroid rats / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

The antioxidative capability and Na+-K+-ATPase α1-subunit mRNA expression in myocardium of hypothyroid rats induced by low-iodine diet were observed. The results showed that the antioxidative capability of myocardium decreased, resulting in lipid peroxidative damage, atrophy of myocardial cells and chondrification of tunica intima, along with decreased expression of sodium pump α1 subunit mRNA in hypothyroid rats.
