[RESULTS OF RESEARCH OF GALECTIN-3 AND THYROGLOBULIN IN PATIENTS WITH THYROID NODULES]
An investigation of galectin-3 and thyroglobulin using IFA was conducted in 80 patients. A lavage of aspirate from the thyroid gland was obtained by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. It was stated that significant increase of galectin-3 and thyroglobulin was noted in case of high differentiated thyroid carcinoma in comparison with benign nodules. Galectin-3 and thyroglobulin from the lavage of thyroid gland aspirate could be used as an oncological marker for complex differentiated diagnostics of high differentiated thyroid carcinoma and benign nodules.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
