Description
Clinicians are aware of frequent manifestations of endocrine gland function pathology in RA patients in the form of goiter, hypothyroidism, chronic adrenal insufficiency, etc. Thyroid hormones increase the activity of metabolic processes, stimulate lipogenesis, enhance the absorption of glucose by fat and muscle tissue, activate gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Thyroid hormones (triiod-tyronine — T3, thyroxine — T4) enhance both resorption and synthesis of bone tissue, the production of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans in connective tissue.
