Due to the direct binding of Asn35 to EA, the IC 50 value of N35D was 10-fold greater than that of WT, whereas the IC 50 values of N35A and N35Q were 70- and 160-fold greater than those of WT (Table 1), indicating that the structural specificity of the side-chain of Asn35 is crucial for EA binding

The problem arises when this antioxidant defense is overwhelmed or depleted: *Excess HO damages thyroid follicular cells, triggering inflammation and immune activation *Oxidized thyroid proteins become neoantigens - foreign-looking molecules that the immune system attacks, initiating or amplifying autoimmune thyroid disease *Lipid peroxidation in thyroid cell membranes disrupts hormone synthesis and cellular integrity *Chronic oxidative stress accelerates thyroid cell apoptosis and fibrosis - the hallmarks of Hashimoto's progression A landmark review published in Antioxidants (MDPI, 2021) - "The Influence of Oxidative Stress on Thyroid Diseases" - confirmed that decreased glutathione levels appear to be a distinctive parameter related to the activation and development of oxidative stress in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and that antioxidant interventions represent a promising therapeutic avenue for autoimmune thyroid conditions
Therefore, thyroid dysfunction, including abnormalities in thyroid hormone synthesis and the emergence of autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Graves disease and Hashimotos thyroiditis, has been linked to Se deficiency
BPC-157 has shown promise in promoting healing in various types of injuries, including tendon, muscle, and bone damage
