?Thyroid works with pituitary gland which

produces thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH).

?TSH stimulate the thyroid gland to produce the

thyroid hormone,T3 and T4.

Thyroxine Hormone

vIodine, a trace mineral, is essential for the

synthesis of thyroid hormone..

vThyroxine(T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

v20 % of T3 derived directly from thyroid gland

and 80 % by conversion from T4.

vThyroid hormone regulate metabolism in every

cell of the body and play a role in virtually all

physiological function.
Regulating thyroid hormone.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

o When the amount of thyroid hormone in the blood

drops, the pituitary gland secretes a hormone called

thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH).

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

o TSH then stimulate the thyroid gland to increase its

uptake of iodine from the blood, so that more

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

thyroxin(T4) can be synthesized.

o When necessary, thyroid is then converted to the

metabolically active triodothyroxine(T3), a process that

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

involves removing one iodine atom from T4.

Metabolic effects of Thyroid

hormones.

vThe hormone exerts action on every cell on

the body.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

vCalorigenic effect or thermogenesis is the

major effect of throid hormone.

vThis thermogenic effect is mediated by

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation.
vBasal metabolic rate (BMR) is increased.

vThyroxine increases cellular metabolism.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

vEarliest effect of T4 is stimulation of RNA

synthesis and consequent increase in protein
vsynthesis Higher concentration of T3 causes

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

protein catabolism and negative nitrogen

balance.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

vLoss of body weight is a prominent feature of

hyperthyroidism.
vGluconeogenesis and carbohydrate oxidation

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

are increased.

vGlucose tolerance test shows rapid absorption.
vFatty acid metabolism is increased.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

vCholesterol degradation is increased and
hence cholesterol level in blood is decreased,
which is another hallmark of hyperthyroidism.

CAUSE OF HYPOTHYROIDISM.
hypothyroidism.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Hypothyroidism is a thyroid problem caused

by an underactive thyroid gland that produces

insufficient amount of thyroid hormones.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Hypothyroidism is seen in both sexes, but is

more common in women.

? In pregnancy new born is at risk of cretinism.
? Cold intolerance

? Lethargy
? Dry and course skin and hair
