Abstract:
Patients with chronic diffuse of liver disease have a violation of thyroid homeostasis in the form of reduction of free triiodothyronine in the blood serum, as well as thyroid stimulating hormone increasing content and of free thyroxin.
In patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases there is a relation between the expression of Pro197Leu polymorphism of GPX1 gene and indices of cellular adhesion, which is revealed by a reliably higher content of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule type 1 in the blood serum in homozygotic carriers of Leu-allele. Changes of the endothelial functional state in patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases are associated with Pro197Leu polymorphism of GPX1 gene, which is proved by a reliably higher index of desquamated endotheliocytes amount and lower level of nitric oxide metabolites in the carriers of LeuLeu-genotype.
