Research on the Rat Thyroid Epithelial Cells is essential to the study of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis models, goiter formation, thyroid hormone synthesis disorders, and radiation-induced thyroid damage. The thyroid is an important endocrine gland in the neck. It produces hormones to control metabolism and influence energy usage in the body. The Rat Thyroid Epithelial Cells are to be used with Rat Thyroid Epithelial Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0271). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
