ABSTRACT
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the antithyroid property of Citrus medica after oral
administration for 15 days (200mg/kg) on serum level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and
thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) in hyperthyroid mice induced by L-thyroxine. An alteration was
observed in serum T3, T4 and TSH level in L-thyroxine treated mice, simultaneous administration of
plant extract reduced the serum level towards normalcy showing the antithyroidic property of Citrus
medica.
Keywords: - Hyperthyroidism, L-thyroxine, Thyroid hormone, Thyroid stimulatory hormone.
