Abstract:
Objective To explore the roles and possible significance of zinc-α2-glycoprotein(ZAG) in Graves disease(GD) by detecting the change of serum ZAG level before and after methimazol(MMI) treatment in the patients with initial onset of Graves disease.Methods The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was adopted to detect serum ZAG level in healthy population,patients with newly diagnosed GD and GD patients treated by 12-week MMI treatment.The serum thyroid hormones and thyroid related autoantibodies were determined by adopting the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.The blood lipid levels were examined by enzymatic colorimetry.Furthermore the relationship between serum ZAG level with thyroid function,thyroid related autoantibodies and blood lipid in the patients with initial onset of GD was analyzed.Results The levels of ZAG,FT3,FT4,TT3,TT4,TGAb,TPO and TRAb in the patients with newly diagnosed GD were much higher than those in the age-and gender-matched normal healthy population,while the TSH level was significantly lower than that in the normal control group(P<0.05);after 12-week MMI treatment in the patients with initial onset of GD,the levels of serum ZAG,FT3,FT4,TT3,TT4 and TRAb were markedly decreased,whereas the TSH level was significantly enhanced(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The correlation study showed that fasting serum ZAG level in the GD patients was positively correlated with FT3,FT4,TT3 and TT4(P<0.05);and negatively correlated with TSH,FFA,TC and TG(P<0.05).With fasting serum ZAG in the GD patients as the dependent variable,the multiple linear regression analysis showed that TSH,TC and TG were the independent related factors of plasma ZAG level.Conclnsion The serum ZAG level is closely correlated with the occurrence and development of GD,and might play an important role in the blood lipids metabolism of GD patients.
