Sydorchuk Bukovinyan State Medical University, Chernivtsy, Ukraine *I.Y. Horbachevsky State Medical University, Ternopol, Ukraine Abstract The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of peroxidation process activity of caspase-3 and caspase-8 in patients with thyroid adenoma (TA) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). While studying the processes of peroxidation in the tissue of the thyroid gland, we revealed that the abnormal tissue is characterized by a significant growth of parameters of protein oxidative modification (POM) at the same time, the activity of antioxidant enzymes (AOE) is significantly reduced, and more likely in patients with AIT. It is shown that in patients with AIT there is a significant increase of activity of caspase 3 and 8 both compared to macroscopically unchanged tissue and to thyroid adenoma. Possible mechanisms of the detected disturbances have been discussed. Key words: autoimmune thyroiditis, thyroid adenoma, apoptosis, peroxidation, caspases 3, 8
