dc.description.abstract | In order to assess the effect of gender and gonadal steroids on goiter development, thirty-two New Zealand albino rabbits were studied. The experimental protocol was based on histopathological changes observed in the thyroid gland following manipulation of gonadal hormone levels and stimulation by TRH. Gender differences for the structure end size of follicles following TRH administration remained significantly larger in females than in males (p < 0.001). In gonadectomied male and female groups, there appeared to be a quantitative difference in response to TRH. Follicular cell proliferation and papillary structures were prominent and the diameter of the follicles was significantly larger in males compared with females (P < 0.001). In gonadectomied rabbits treated with the opposite gonadal steroids, the appearance of papillary structures and basophilic character of the colloid on staining were also prominent in males. The results indicate that (i) estrogen promotes while androgen inhibits to some extent the stimulatory effects of TRH on thyroid follicular size; and (ii) although the data would support the effect of gender and sex steroids on goiter development, factors other than gonadal steroids are responsible for the higher incidence of goiter in females. | en_US |
