disorders which affects the glands function or structure. This paper will focus on hypothyroidism, its symptoms, treatments and effects on people. Hypothyroidism is a disorder that is common in endocrine and it results from the deficiency of thyroid hormone in the body. The most common cause of hypothyroidism in United States and areas of adequate iodine intake is autoimmune thyroid disease; whereas iodine deficiency in the rest of the world remains the major cause of the disorder. It occurs…

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder in which your immune system creates antibodies that attack your thyroid gland. Causing inflammation in the thyroid gland leading to hypothyroidism a condition in which the thyroid does not make enough hormones for the body's need. The most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States is Hashimoto’s. Hashimoto's disease typically progresses slowly over years and you may have it for many years before you develop any symptoms. The first sign is…

the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States. Hyperthyroidism is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than the body needs. Thyroid gland makes to thyroid hormones T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine). T3 is made from T4 it is the more active hormone, directly affecting the tissues. Both hormones circulate throughout the body in the blood stream and act on virtually every tissue and cell how does the thyroid make T3 and T4 When the body is…

Yehimi Herrera Tiffany Ricasa Haeley Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism is a disease which happens when there is too much thyroid hormones being produced in the body which means the thyroid gland is overactive. Another name for hyperthyroidism is thyrotoxicosis, it can also occur in Graves’s disease. Hyperthyroidism is most seen to appear in young girls, and you can get it if you have ancestors that had also had hyperthyroidism. It is not known yet what the cause of…

produces several important hormones that control body functions such as growth, development, reproduction, and metabolism. One of these hormones is growth Hormone (GH). In childhood, GH is important for proper development and growth. In adults GH maintains healthy bone and muscle function. If there is not enough growth hormone, a child will not grow to his potential stature. If there is too much growth hormone a child will grow excessively tall. If there is an excess of growth hormone in an…

Hyperpituitarism Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder in both males and females where your pituitary gland has either failed to produce one or more of its hormones or isn’t producing enough. The pituitary gland is a small jelly bean shaped gland situated at the base of your brain, behind your nose and between your ears. While this is here it is secreting hormones that affect almost every part of your body. Hypopituitarism is essentially another word for the pituitary gland not being active…

concentrations of active thyroid hormones circulating in the bloodstream. The two thyroid homes that are being overproduced are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) which are used to help control the overall metabolism of the body. When a cat has an overactive thyroid gland the hormones will be released regardless of the anterior pituitary’s release of TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone which is due to an error in the negative feedback system. These thyroid hormones are formed…

producing enough hormone, and it may be caused by an autoimmune disorder. HT-H develops when the thyroid gland lacks to produce thyroxine as the body needs. Thyroxine regulates the heart rate, physical growth, digestion. A small amount of hormone can damage organs, tissues in every part of the body. Women are at greater risk than men. HT-H is more common at the age of 50. (Judith Simms, Rebecca. J. Frey,…

an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are an important part of life. They involve the CNS system, cardiovascular system, reproductive system, appropriate growth/development, and metabolism. According to Agrawal (2015), “Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common congenital endocrine disorder in childhood and is also one of the most preventable causes of mental retardation.” This disorder is difficult to diagnose because these hormones pass from the mother through…

people produce these antibodies, although this condition is linked to families. When your thyroid comes under attack from malfunctioning immune cells, it impairs your thyroids ability to make and supply sufficient amounts of the thyroid hormones. These hormones provoke growth and development, and are responsible for various bodily functions such as menstrual regulation, body temperature,…
