Surgical thyroidectomy is often performed on laboratory animals to study thyroid function. While there have been studies into its effects on the function of various internal organs, there are no reports of resulting changes in skin and hair follicle morphology. In a study on rats, the authors showed that decreased expression of thyroid receptors and reduced cell proliferation in hair follicles resulted from a lack of thyroid hormone.</p> <p><i> <p><a href="http://www.vetpathology.org/">Veterinary Pathology 45 (4): 505-511.</a></p> </i></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through; color: red;"><img border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Wikis.Components.Files/veterinary-research/2605.abstracts_2D00_logo.gif" alt="" /></span></a></p> </i></p> <p><span style="background: SpringGreen;"><img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Wikis.Components.Files/veterinary-research/2605.abstracts_2D00_logo.gif" border="0" alt="" /></span></p>http://www.vetsurgeon.org/wikis/veterinary-research/effects-of-thyroidectomy-on-skin-morphology-in-rats/revision/1.aspxWed, 17 Jun 2009 18:09:37 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:157Arlo Guthriehttp://www.vetsurgeon.org/wikis/veterinary-research/effects-of-thyroidectomy-on-skin-morphology-in-rats/comments.aspxRevision 1 posted to Abstracts, Short Communications &amp; Research by Arlo Guthrie on 17/06/2009 19:09:37<br /> <p> <h3 align="left">M.
