Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of different oral doses of prednisolone (classically used during anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapies with decreasing and/or alternate day protocol scheme) on the serum triiodothyronine (T-3), thyroxine (T-4) and free T-4 (fT(4)) concentrations and thyroid gland morphology.
