Cases presenting with changes in various organs caused by anti -severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination are rare. In particular, after such instances of vaccination, onset of subacute thyroiditis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, and Graves' disease was observed. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman whose hypothyroidism converted to hyperthyroidism after vaccination with Gam-COVID-Vac (Sputnik V). After the first dose of vaccine, a hormonal metabolism alteration was noted, i.e., conversion from hypothyroidism to euthyroidism. After the second dose of vaccine, onset of hyperthyroidism with thyrotoxicosis was noted without signs of subacute thyroiditis. Hyperthyroidism persisted for several weeks before reverting to hypothyroidism. Assessments did not reveal an increase in the patient's thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody levels throughout the indicated period. However, after hyperthyroidism reverted to hypothyroidism, a significant increase in the peak systolic velocity of the superior thyroid arteries was observed, which is characteristic of hyperthyroidism. Owing to the known involvement of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in blood vessel tone regulation, thyroid hormonogenesis, and stress, the ANS-mediated conversion from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism in certain individuals after receiving a vaccine, which may serve as a sufficient stimulus for ANS nerve centers, is highly probable. Therefore, diagnostic assessment of ANS condition should be performed before vaccination in patients with chronic thyroid disorders or diseases of other organs or organ systems. If changes in ANS are found, providing preemptive treatment before vaccination is recommended.

Background: Obesity is a risk factor for insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, and all disorders associated with metabolic syndrome. Here we evaluated the association of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analog, liraglutide, and the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, canagliflozin, on the improvement of metabolic syndrome symptoms in a high-fat diet (HFD)-in- duced obesity rat model. Methods: Male Wistar rats received either a control diet or HFD ad libitum for 5 months. After 4 months of diet, HFD rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups (HFD, HFD + liraglutide, HFD + canagliflozin, and HFD + liraglutide + canagliflozin). Treatment groups received liraglutide (100 µg/kg) and/or canagliflozin (10 mg/kg) once daily for one month. Body mass and food intake were monitored throughout the experiment. An oral glucose tolerance test, biochemical parameters, epididymal and liver fat, and adipocyte morphology were assessed after the treatment period. Results: Rats on the HFD developed obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and fatty liver. Liraglutide reduced food intake and body weight, normalized the lipid profile, and reduced abdominal and liver fat. Canagliflozin slightly reduced body mass and improved glucose tolerance and dyslipidemia. The combination therapy was more effective than the monotherapies in normalizing the lipid profile. Conclusions: The combination of liraglutide and canagliflozin was more effective than the monotherapies in improving dyslipidemia and liver fat. These results indicate that the combination of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors is a promising therapeutic strategy to treat dyslipidemia, and possibly prevent fatty liver disease in metabolic syndrome and obese patients.
