Caspase-dependent activation of cascade cytokines in young patients with autoimmune thyroiditis in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease

Abstract

The development of an inflammatory reaction in any disease of internal organs obeys to the basic law of inflammation – the participation of the immune system in its implementation.The sequence of the inclusion of its various components, the volume of the cellular and humoral response depends on many factors: the action and the virulence of the pathogen, the state of the immune system both in general and its individual links, concomitant diseases and a number of others.An inflammatory reaction is a genetically determined function of the body, aimed at maintaining homeostasis, that is, neutralizing the pathogen without significant consequences for the body.
