Green tea extract modulates lithium-induced thyroid follicular cell damage in rats
2022 Aug 24 Folia Morphologica Zaki SM, Hussein GHA, Helal GM, Arsanyos SF, Abd Algaleel WA
Prolonged use of LC results in hypothyroidism, which is accompanied by structural thyroid damage. LC induced thyroid damage through oxidative stress that prompted sterile inflammation and apoptosis. With the use of GTE, the thyroid gland regained its structure and function. The protecting role of GTE is through antioxidant, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative effects.

Emerging therapeutic role of Prunella vulgaris in thyroid disease
2022 Jul Chinese Herbal Medicines Zhang W, Wuhan Q, Na M, Hu R, Mu Q, Bao X
Herbs such as P. vulgaris have great potential for treating thyroid disorders owing to their anti-oxidation and immunological effects and are frequently used as ingredients in herbal recipes. P. vulgaris is thought to combat drug toxicity within the body, therefore its own active ingredients have attracted much attention. The use of P. vulgaris with other drugs resulted in significant elimination of swollen nodules, reduced inflammatory response, and improved thyroid function. These effects of P. vulgaris benefit the clinical treatment of thyroid disease while having reduced drug-induced side effects and improved therapeutic effects. However, with only a few studies presenting treatment with Prunella vulgaris alone, further investigation is needed to to explore the physiological mechanisms.

Case report – Acupuncture treatment in subclinical hypothyroidism
2021 Aug 06 Journal of Chemical, Biological and physical sciences Blagica Arsovska, Jihe Zhu, Kristina Kozovska
Acupuncture treatment, consisting of 11 sessions over a 3-month period, demonstrated promising results in the management of subclinical hypothyroidism. Before the treatment, the patient's TSH level was elevated at 9.19 mIU/L, and it decreased to 3.70 mIU/L during the treatment, ultimately normalizing to 3.09 mIU/L after completion. The selected acupuncture points targeted the thyroid and related meridians. The study suggests that acupuncture, as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, can provide rapid and positive outcomes in improving thyroid function and overall body energy in cases of subclinical hypothyroidism.
