Model of induction of thyroid dysfunctions in adult female mice

Descreve-se a elaboracao de um novo protocolo de inducao ao hipertireoidismo e hipotireoidismo em camundongos, por meio da administracao de tiroxina e propiltiouracil, respectivamente, na agua de beber. As drogas foram administradas a camundongos femeas adultas Swiss por 30 dias para obtencao das disfuncoes tireoidianas sistemicas. A inducao de hipertireoidismo e hipotireoidismo nos animais foi confirmada pela analise histomorfologica e histomorfometrica da glândula tireoidiana ao final do experimento, quando observou-se o estado de disfuncao glandular nos animais submetidos ao tratamento.
