Inflammatory Modulation & Thyroid Hormones

Thyroid hormones levels are necessary to maintain lymphocyte subpopulations and to mediate inflammatory responses. Intestinal Permeability and Thyroid Hormones Lack of thyroid hormone stimulation to gastric and intestinal cells leads to ulcerations and intestinal permeability known as “leaky gut syndrome.”

  • Both T3 and T4 have been shown to protect the intestinal lining from stress induced ulcer formation.
  • Endoscopic examinations of gastric ulcers found low T3, low T4, and abnormal levels of reverse T3 on gastric ulcerative tissues.
  • Left unmanaged, low thyroid hormone levels will dampen the bodies ability to respond to inflammation leading ultimately to systemic inflammation.
