Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland (1) and is considered to be one of the primary causes of thyroid underactivity‚ known as hypothyroidism (2). Autoimmune thyroid diseases‚ like Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis‚ effects around 1-5% of the population (3‚ 4)‚ and the large majority of those effected by the disease are women (5). Many aspects of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis pathology are still being researched‚ including the determinant and origin of hypothyroidism severity (3)

Research Strategy Paper Living with Hypothyroidism Monica Chapman 10/12/10 GEN/200 Maureen Parker Hypothyroidism is a chronic condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive meaning it produces too little thyroid hormone in which the body needs to function normally. Because there are low levels of the thyroid hormones needed‚ the body tends to slow down causing many symptoms (eHealthMD‚ 2004). Hypothyroidism is very common and is treatable easily most of the time‚ but it is a condition
Premium Hypothyroidism Thyroid hormone Thyroid
Hypothyroidism Normally‚ the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced when the hypothalamus excretes thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). The secretion of TRH triggers the pituitary gland to release TSH. TSH then activates a release of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)‚ controlling the body’s metabolism. When T3 and T4 levels rise‚ the secretion of TRH and TSH decrease. When thyroid hormone levels decline‚ there is an increase in TRH and TSH secretion (Buttaro‚ Trybulski‚ Bailey‚ & Sandberg-Cook

Human Anatomy and Physiology 2 Growth Hormone and Thyroid hormones Growth hormone is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. This hormone was once believed to be of importance only during periods of active growth‚ but it is now recognized that adults produce nearly as much GH as children (Adams and Koch‚ 2009).GH stimulates the liver to produce sommatropins that then targets a variety of cells. Although its major targets are bone and skeletal muscle‚ GH stimulates many types of
