Purpose: Thyroid hormones are associated with the oxidant-antioxidant balance in the organism. Hypothyroidism is associated with impaired collagen turnover. We aimed to evaluate paraoxonase (PON) and arylesterase (ARE) activities, which prevent oxidative damage and serum prolidase activity (SPA) which is an important marker of collagen turnover in premenopausal women with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH).
