"» Interferon-induced proteins interfere with the thyroid hormone system

Chronic activation of the interferon system may finally interfere with thyroid hormone function. Some members of the 2-5OAS family of proteins indeed share structural homologies with the thyroid receptor, and have the ability to repress or suppress its cellular effects. This will lead to thyroid hormone resistance, with effects similar to hypothyroidism (explaining the extreme fatigue), although patients present normal levels of thyroid hormone."

Både Balderklinikken og Lillestrøm helseklinikk har vi hørt foreskriver Thyroid ved diverse ME- og cfs-tilstander (og jeg synes å huske fra en nettside at de også har foreskrevet hydrocortison ved behov)
