The aim of this work was to study changes in the state of phosphorus-calcium metabolism, indicators of certain hormones, cytokine profile, and histological structure of bone tissue in experimental hypothyroidism in rats. Experimental hypothyroidism was caused by daily intragastric administration of Thiamazole in a dose of 2.5 mg / 100 g body weight for 21 days. The colorimetric method was used to determine blood serum calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium content. Bone metabolism markers, thyrotropin level, total T3 and T4, testosterone, follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) hormones, parathyroid hormone (PTH), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and -6 (IL-6), necrosis factor tumors-alpha (TNF-α) were studied using an enzyme immunoassay. To determine the histological structure of bone tissue, prepared sections of the femoral diaphysis were studied under a microscope of the MZ-300 series (Austria). It was found that hypothyroidism development is confirmed by decreased content of thyroxine and triiodothyronine on the background of the increased secretion of thyroidstimulating hormone. Experimental hypothyroidism is accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of bone alkaline phosphatase in the blood serum while maintaining the collagen C-terminal telopeptides type 1, reflecting impaired remodeling processes, there is also a decrease in testosterone secretion, an increase in gonadotropins, parathyroid hormone, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α). Signs characteristic for the developing dysplastic osteoporosis are histologically revealed in the diaphysis of the tubular bones.
