The congenital hypothyroidism-induced
hypertension in adulthood is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy due
to the overexpression of oxidized CaMKII and ANP and the increase of ROS,
nitrites, myeloperoxidase, catalase, GPX, GR, and the reduction of total SOD
activity. Moreover, congenital hypothyroidism-induced cardiometabolic
malprogramming is worsened by nutritional insult during life. Thus, congenital
hypothyroidism is a risk factor to increase cardiometabolic diseases.
