Animal experiments showed that SSd intervention attenuated the lymphocytic infiltration in thyroid tissues of HT mice (P = 0.044); SSd intervention reduced serum TPOAb antibody level in HT mice (P < 0.001); SSd adjusted M1/M2 imbalance towards M2-type macrophage polarization in the spleen of HT mice (P = 0.003); SSd inhibited the expressions of Th1-type cytokine IFN-γ and Th17-type cytokine IL-17 systemically and locally in the thyroid of HT mice (P < 0.05). The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is hematocrit.
