The influence of antioxidants on the morphometric parametrs of the thyroid gland of the different ages rats in the conditions of immobilization stress
In this experimental article was investigated the influence of antioxidants on the structure of the thyroid gland of male rats of different ages in the conditions of immobilization stress. Found that prolonged immobilization, regardless of age of the animals, influences at the thyroid gland, reducing the height of the thyroid epithelium and area of thyrocyte`s nuclei and increasing the area of follicles and follicular colloid. Under the conditions of stress antioxidants,.-tocopherol and emoxipine, correct morphometric parameters of the thyroid gland in all age groups, increasing the height of the thyroid epithelium and thyrocyte`s area, reducing the area of follicles and follicular colloid. It should be noted that the analogue of the natural antioxidant -.-tocopherol exerted a stronger endocrine effects.
