Abstract

This study presents a comparative morphological and morphometric analysis of the thyroid gland in white rats under combined deficiency of microelements (Mg, Fe, Se, Zn). Structural organization of thyroid follicles, colloid composition, stromal elements, and microcirculatory features were examined. The results indicate that microelement imbalance leads to decreased secretory activity of thyrocytes and induces compensatory-adaptive reactions within the stromal and vascular systems, reflecting the gland’s response to metabolic stress.
