Does hypothyroidism augment sun-induced skin damage?

DISCUSSION: The hypothyroid state could be a risk factor for enhanced oxidative skin damage in chronic photo-exposed skin due to oxidative stress. The lipid peroxidation is one of the major pathways by which photo-oxidative stress promotes photocarcinogenesis and photo-aging. PMID: 29962323 [PubMed - in process]
