Abstract:
Orange agent/Dioxin is very toxic chemical. It has still exist and harmful affected on persons living in many areas of South VietNam since America chemical war. This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of Dioxin residue on changes of serum FT 4, T3, TSH in 318 persons exposed to the toxic. RIA and IMA assays were used to measure serum concentrations of the hormones. The results of the hormones from persons exposed to Dioxin were: 1. Serum concentration of FT4 is 9 to 25 pmol/L and significant lower in comparison with those of control group living in Hanoi. Serum concentration of T3 is 1 to 3 nmol/L and not significant lower in comparison with those of control group living in Hanoi. Serum concentration of TSH is 0,25 - 5 mUlL and not significant higher in comparison with those of control group living in Hanoi. 2. There are significant differences in serum FT4, T3. TSH concentrations between communes sprayed Dioxin in the war. 3. Abnomal ratios of serum FT4, T3, TSH concentrations of persons exposed to Orange agent/Dioxin are higher than those of control persons living in Hanoi.
