    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triiodothyronine

    Triiodothyronine, also known as T3, is a thyroid hormone. It affects almost every physiological process in the body, including growth and development, metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate.

  3. Thyroid function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

    Thyroid function tests ( TFTs) is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. [1] TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement therapy.

  4. Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    The hypothalamus senses low circulating levels of thyroid hormone ( Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4)) and responds by releasing thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). The TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The TSH, in turn, stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone until levels in the blood return to normal. Thyroid hormone exerts ...

  5. Hyperthyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthyroidism

    The diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is confirmed by blood tests that show a decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level and elevated T 4 and T 3 levels. TSH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland in the brain that tells the thyroid gland how much hormone to make.

  7. Wilson's temperature syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson's_temperature_syndrome

    Wilson's ( temperature) syndrome, also called Wilson's thyroid syndrome or WTS, is a term used in alternative medicine to improperly attribute various common and non-specific symptoms to abnormally low body temperature and impaired conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3), despite normal thyroid function tests. [1] E. Denis Wilson, a physician who invented the concept and named it ...

  8. Reverse triiodothyronine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_triiodothyronine

    Reverse triiodothyronine (3,3′,5′-triiodothyronine, reverse T 3, or rT 3) is an isomer of triiodothyronine (3,5,3′ triiodothyronine, T 3 ). Reverse T 3 is the third-most common iodothyronine the thyroid gland releases into the bloodstream, at 0.9%; tetraiodothyronine (levothyroxine, T 4) constitutes 90% and T 3 is 9%.

  9. Blood test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_test

    Blood test. A blood test is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a hypodermic needle, or via fingerprick. Multiple tests for specific blood components, such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test, are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood work.
