- Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone which is required by the body. (planetayurveda.com)
Hypothalamus1
- Here, we describe a previously unknown population of parvalbuminergic neurons in the anterior hypothalamus that requires thyroid hormone receptor signaling for proper development. (jci.org)
Function of the thyroid1
- It was nearly 200 more years before the function of the thyroid was elucidated. (medscape.com)
Important glands1
- Sarvangasana is considered to be the most important asana to activate most of the important glands and to improve their functions. (indianetzone.com)

- The thyroid gland is responsible for the speed of metabolic processes in the body and therefore affects every organ and organ system. (healthy.net)
Surgery4
- therefore, T4 should be administered to all patients with thyroid carcinoma, regardless of the extent of thyroid surgery and other treatments. (medscape.com)
- Another common and effective treatment is radioactive iodine, whereas surgery to remove part of the thyroid is the least-used option. (kundaliniresearchinstitute.org)
- Surgery removes the thyroid gland from the animal entirely, thus stopping production of the thyroid hormone. (illinois.edu)
- The second leading cause of hypothyroidism is iatrogenic-including situations when surgery, medications, or radiation have affected the functioning of the gland. (wisc.edu)
Tumors2
- In the case of multiple tumors, the possibility of thyroid metastasis should not be ignored during the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PTC. (spandidos-publications.com)
- ccRCC has previously been reported to metastasize to normal thyroid tissue ( 7 ) or benign thyroid tumors ( 8 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
Endocrine gland1
- The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the body. (healthy.net)
Tissues3
- T4 is produced within the thyroid gland and is later converted to the active T3 outside the thyroid gland in peripheral tissues. (healthy.net)
- It has been a long-standing challenge to decipher the mechanisms by which thyroid hormone regulates such a wide range of cellular processes in so many different tissues. (jci.org)
- The relationship reverse T3 (RT3) hormone and T4 in tissues between creatinine or BUN and thyroid such as liver, kidneys and muscles [ 8,9 ]. (who.int)
Overproduction1
- Some contain thyroid tissue, which contributes to the overproduction of thyroid hormone. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Secretion1
- TSH permits growth, cellular differentiation, and thyroid hormone production and secretion by the thyroid gland. (medscape.com)
Lobes4
- The thyroid gland consists of two small lobes connected together. (healthy.net)
- The two halves (lobes) of the gland are connected in the middle (called the isthmus), giving the thyroid gland the shape of a bow tie. (msdmanuals.com)
- The normal adult thyroid gland weighs 10-25 g and has 2 lobes connected by an isthmus. (medscape.com)
- Longitudinal dimensions of the lobes of the thyroid range up to 5 cm, as shown in the image below. (medscape.com)
Disorder7
- Variations in genes involved in this process may contribute to an individual's risk of developing Raynaud phenomenon, but the connection between these gene variations and the abnormal blood vessel response that occurs in this disorder is unknown. (medlineplus.gov)
- The global thyroid gland disorder treatment market size was valued at USD 1.97 billion in 2016 and is expected to register a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period. (grandviewresearch.com)
- By route of administration, the thyroid gland disorder treatment market is segmented into oral, intravenous, and others. (grandviewresearch.com)
- A thyroid disorder impacts the metabolic processes and may be characterized by nervousness or tiredness, weight changes, weak muscles, impaired memory and irregular menstrual flow. (healthywomen.org)
- A thyroid disorder can also cause miscarriage and infertility. (healthywomen.org)

Abnormal3
- Studies showing the benefit of yoga practice for those with abnormal thyroid conditions have been positive. (kundaliniresearchinstitute.org)
- Abnormal thyroid hormone levels cause an increase in blood pressure. (illinois.edu)
- Because of the anatomic relationship of the thyroid gland to the trachea, larynx, superior and inferior laryngeal nerves, and esophagus, abnormal growth may cause a variety of compressive syndromes. (medscape.com)
20211
- Note: The NHANES Biospecimen Program processes were reevaluated in 2021 and 2022 to monitor quality control after a procedural error was identified. (cdc.gov)
Physiologic processes1
- Because the thyroid affects so many different physiologic processes in the body, the clinical signs of hypothyroidism are variable from one individual to another. (wisc.edu)
Autoimmune thyroid1
- Few past studies have reported the impact of vitamin D deficiency on autoimmune thyroid disease and demonstrated inconclusive results [ 10 , 11 ]. (hindawi.com)
Normal thyroid tissue1
- First, radioactive iodide destroys any remaining normal thyroid tissue, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of subsequent 131 I total-body scanning and increasing the specificity of measurements of serum thyroglobulin for the detection of persistent or recurrent disease. (medscape.com)
