2. Thyroid hormones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_hormones

   Thyroid hormones are any hormones produced and released by the thyroid gland, namely triiodothyronine ( T3) and thyroxine ( T4 ). They are tyrosine -based hormones that are primarily responsible for regulation of metabolism. T 3 and T 4 are partially composed of iodine, derived from food. [ 2] A deficiency of iodine leads to decreased ...

3. Thyroid-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid-stimulating_hormone

   Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, or abbreviated TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T 4 ), and then triiodothyronine (T 3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body. [1] It is a glycoprotein hormone produced by thyrotrope cells ...

4. Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis - Wikipedia

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

   The pituitary gland secretes thyrotropin (TSH; Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) that stimulates the thyroid to secrete thyroxine (T4) and, to a lesser degree, triiodothyronine (T3). The major portion of T3, however, is produced in peripheral organs, e.g. liver, adipose tissue, glia and skeletal muscle by deiodination from

5. 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.

6. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

   The most useful marker of thyroid gland function is serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. TSH levels are determined by a classic negative feedback system in which high levels of T3 and T4 suppress the production of TSH, and low levels of T3 and T4 increase the production of TSH. TSH levels are thus often used by doctors as a screening ...

7. Hypothyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism

   T3 and TSH are essential for regulation of cardiac electrical activity. [43] Prolonged ventricular repolarization and atrial fibrillation are often seen in hypothyroidism. [43] The thyroid gland is the only source of thyroid hormone in the body; the process requires iodine and the amino acid tyrosine.
