Abstract
Background: Consumption of unsaturated fats reduces the serum level of lipids and leptin.
Thyroid hormones and leptin play pivotal roles in metabolism and their amounts are interrelated.
This study was done to compare the effects of Mellissia officinalis extract and
atorvastatin on the serum levels of thyroid hormones in hypercholesterolemia rats.
Materials and Methods: Consumption of unsaturated fats reduces the serum level of lipids
and leptin. Thyroid hormones and leptin play pivotal roles in metabolism and their
amounts are inter-related. This study was done to compare the effects of Mellissia
officinalis extract and atorvastatin on the serum levels of thyroid hormones in
hypercholesterolemia rats.
Results: The results showed that in experimental groups receiving the plant extract and
atorvastatin, the concentration of thyroid hormones increased, whereas the amount of the
thyroid-stimulating hormone showed a significant decrease (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Mellissia officinalis extract decreases TSH but it increases T3 and T4. Further
studies are required for applying this extract to the treatment of hyperthyroidism.
