Abstract:	Increased oxidative stress has been described previously in models of hyperthyroidism and in human subjects with Basedow disease. In this study, the influence of a diet enriched in soy on reactive oxygen species production and on antioxidant defence in hepatic tissue was explored. Soy products are attractive because of their beneficial effects on chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, and type II diabetes
Keywords:	oxidative stress, thyroid hormones, liver, histological alterations
