The state of the initial autonomic tone in children with an enlarged thyroid gland
The article presents an analysis of the initial autonomic tone in children with both an enlarged thyroid gland and a normal thyroid gland. It was found that the thyroid gland affects the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. With the normal functioning of the endocrine organ, the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system is maintained. The territory of the Khabarovsk Territory is an endemic zone of natural iodine deficiency, which causes a high prevalence of iodine deficiency states.
