Objective: Metabolite abnormalities are potentially implicated in pathogenesis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). An in-depth study of the relationship between HT and small molecule metabolites, as well as its pathogenesis, can help enhance the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of HT patients.
PURPOSE: Amino acids (AAs) play important physiological roles in living cells. Some amino acid changes in blood are specific for autoimmune disorders, and some are specific for thyroid cancer. The aims of this study were to profile AA metabolites in the serum of patients with pap...
