Abstract:
Intestinal flora plays an important role in maintaining the body's immune balance, digestion, and nutrient absorption. Thyroid function mainly includes the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones and the regulation of metabolic balance in the body. When the body’s thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion are too little or too much, it will lead to thyroid diseases. Studies have shown that intestinal flora may affect the occurrence and development of thyroid diseases by participating in thyroid metabolism, immune regulation, cross immunoreaction, and interaction with thyroid-related predisposing factors. Understanding the structural changes and functional mechanisms of intestinal flora during the occurrence and development of thyroid diseases can provide a new basis for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases and improvement of clinical prognosis.
