    Abstract

    Background: Function of thyroid gland is regulated by the axis hypothalamic- pituitarythyroid through these hormones: Thyrotrophin releasing hormone(TRH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), tetraiodothyronine hormone(T4) and triiodothyronine hormone(T3). Thyroid disorders(hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism) are common around the world and are common diseases in Iraq. Thyroid disorders are states that initially affect on amount of hormones that produced by the thyroid, and affects on all physiological systems including central nervous system , cardiovascular system, blood, and others. Afamin(AFM) is an 87 Kilodalton (kDa) glycoprotein that shares 55% of the amino acid sequence of albumin and contains 15% of carbohydrates. Vimentin (VIM) is a protein among 70 types of intermediate filaments, including Vimentin, Keratin, Desmin and Lamin. Vimentin is a cytoskeleton is an intermediate filament protein that makes up the nucleus and muscle cells.
