Determination of ANAE and ACP-ase Positive Lymphocytes of Peripheral Blood and Endometrium Tissues in Experimental Hypothyroidism-Induced Rats

This study was aimed to provide information about the status of the immune system by revealing changes in peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) percentages, ANAE- and ACP-ase(+) lymphocyte rates in peripheral blood (PB) and endometrium tissues of experimental hypothyroidisminduced rats. In this study, 15 healthy female Wistar Albino rats were used. Rats were fed through 4 weeks. The Group E (experimental, n=9) is group that were made hypothyroidism by intraperitoneal methimazole enjection for 2 weeks. Rats of the Group C (control, n=6) were untreated. In the 2nd and 4th weeks, ANAE- and ACP-ase(+) lymphocyte rates of the Group E were higher than Group C in PB. Excepting eosinophil and basophil leukocyte rates, there was no statistical difference in the other PBL percentages in the both of weeks. In PB, while lymphocyte rate of the 4th week was no statistically different (P>0.05), it was found lower in Group C. There was no alteration in ANAE- and ACP-ase(+) lymphocyte rates of uterine tissue. As a result, whereas hypothyroidism caused significant alterations in PBL and T lymphocyte rates, the any marked changes was not observed in the uterine tissue.

Deneysel Hipotiroidizm Oluşturulan Ratlardaki Periferik Kan ve Endometriyum Dokularında ANAE ve ACP-az Pozitif Lenfositlerin Belirlenmesi

Bu çalışma, deneysel hipotiroidi oluşturulan ratların periferal kan lökosit (PKL) yüzdelerindeki, periferal kan ve endometriyum dokularındaki ANAE ve ACP-az (+) lenfosit oranlarındaki değişiklikleri açığa çıkararak bağışıklık sisteminin durumu hakkında bilgi vermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada 15 sağlıklı dişi Wistar Albino rat kullanıldı. Ratlar 4 hafta boyunca beslendi. Grup D (deneysel, n=9) 2 hafta boyunca intraperitoneal methimazol enjeksiyonu ile hipotiroidizm oluşturulan gruptur. Grup K’nın (kontrol, n=6) ratları normal beslendi. İkinci ve dördüncü haftalarda, Grup D’nin periferal kandaki ANAE- ve ACP-az(+) lenfosit oranları Grup K’den yüksekti. Eozinofil ve bazofil lökosit oranları hariç olmak üzere, her iki haftada da diğer PKL oranlarında istatistiksel bir fark yoktu. 4. haftadaki periferal kan lenfosit oranı istatistiksel olarak farklı bulunmazken (P>0.05), Grup K’de daha düşük bulundu. Uterus dokusunda ANAE- ve ACP-az(+) lenfosit oranlarında değişiklik görülmedi. Sonuç olarak, hipotiroidizmin PKL ve T lenfosit oranlarında önemli değişikliklere neden olurken uterus dokusunda herhangi belirgin bir değişikliğe yol açmadığı gözlendi.
