Inflammation and associated factors is an important root of autoimmune hypothyroidism. The potential anti-inflammatory effect of photobiomodulation with red light therapy may benefit the thyroid. Red light therapy can effectively treat chronic autoimmune hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism.

Hyperinsulinemia is the most common cause of diffuse goiter and heterogeneous structure of the thyroid. Thyroid gland volume shows a significant positive association with the characteristics of metabolic syndrome and increased thyroid volume are predictors of metabolic syndrome. https://europepmc.org/article/med/36825717 (2023).----

Thyroid disease incidence among nurses is increasing. Age at diagnosis, BMI, fasting blood glucose, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are independent risk factors for different types of thyroid disease.

Selenium protects the thyroid gland and is immunostimulatory, resulting in T cell proliferation, innate immune cell activation, NK cell activity, and a variety of other indicators. Iodine biofortification plays an important role in maintaining a healthy immune system.

Fluoride prevents the action of iodine in the thyroid gland, being an enzymatic poison that induces oxidative stress, hormonal alterations and neurotoxicity. Fluoride synergizes with aluminum in hormonal and neuronal regulations at much lower concentrations. Disorders include hypothyroidism, sleep disorders, inflammation, IQ deficit, among others. Fluoride inhibits the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), GSH reductase (GR), and superoxide dismutase (SOD).

This review article provides information on the role of quercetin in many types of cancer, including thyroid cancer. The present review emphasizes the anticancer activity of quercetin through different mechanisms, such as induced apoptosis, inhibition of tumor progression, arrest of the cancer cell cycle through different pathways, decreased proliferation, modification of the tumor microenvironment, etc.
