Abstract:

Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an organ specific autoimmune disease associated with autoimmune thyroid disease. Currently, the pathogenesis of TAO has not been completely determined, but oxidative stress has been found to have an important impact on the occurrence and development of TAO. The vicious cycle of inflammation and oxidative stress, the depletion of enzymatic antioxidant system and various environmental factors could induce the oxidative stress response of TAO, promote the proliferation of orbital fibroblasts and the expression of inflammatory mediators. The treatment of TAO patients with selenium and other antioxidants could improve the clinical symptoms by inhibiting oxidative stress. In this paper, the pathological changes, pathogenesis and antioxidant treatment of oxidative stress for TAO patients were reviewed.

Key words: Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy, Thyroid disease, Oxidative stress, Antioxidant
