This gland also produces calcitonin, a hormone that plays an important role in a process called calcium homeostasis (a process by which the body maintains calcium levels).

15. Parathyroid Glands Gone Bad - Causes of Benign Tumors and Other Disorders of the Parathyroid Glands August 03, 2009 On average, a person has four parathyroid glands — two of which are located in the posterior left lobe of the thyroid gland and another two on the posterior of the right lobe. Combined, these four weigh less than 500 mg. Each gland is composed mainly of chief cells, which synthesize and secrete parathyroid hormone or parathormone or PTH for short. PTH is responsible for resorption of bone in cases of low calcium levels. These hormones tap into the calcium-rich source which is the bone and act on the osteocytes and osteoclast to begin pumping calcium out of the bone and into the extracellu...

16. Nonsurgical Parathyroid Treatments - Parathyroid Treatments Without Going Under the Knife August 03, 2009 Parathyroid treatments are used to treat the disorders that have something to do with the way your body regulates your calcium levels.

An increase of PTH will cause resorption of bone, leading to bone weakness. Hypoparathyroidism may not be as common as hyperparathyroidism but it bears watching as well. Hypoparathyroidism is the opposite of hyperparathyroidism. In hypoparathyroidism, there is inadequate secretion of PTH by th... (read more) Author: Ryan English

Hypothyroidism and Goiter - Hypothyroidism Causes Enlargement of the Thyroid August 03, 2009 Hypothyroidism, in general, has exactly the opposite effects as those of hyperthyroidism, although it may be caused by autoimmunity as well but a kind of immunity that destroys the gland rather than stimulates it. Most of the patients first have autoimmune thyroiditis, an inflammation of the thyroid glands. This causes deterioration and eventually, fibrosis of the gland or the replacement of thyroid tissue with connective tissue. Fibrotic tissue is incapable of producing thyroid hormone and a deficiency in the hormone occurs. In most cases, an enlagement of the thyroid gland is observed. ... (read more) Author: Ryan English

18.

19. Thyroid-Hormone-Suppressive Therapy With Levothyroxine August 03, 2009 Levothyroxine or L-thyroxine is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine.

This synthetic hormone is used as a supplement for hypothyroid patients who are incapable of producing sufficient quantities of thyroid hormone to maintain normal physiologic functions. Indications and Contraindications Around forty percent of doctors recommend this synthetic hormone for the treatment of solitary thyroid nodules but there are some instances when its administration is deemed inappropriate. One of the factors to be considered in prescribin... (read more) Author: Ryan English

Since it was first described by the Irish physician Robert James Graves, it has become the leading cause of hyperthyroidism in the world. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies that mimic the effects of the hormone thyroid-stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland. These antibodies cause the thyroid gland to produce more and more thyroid hormone beyond the normal limits. This causes the body's metabolism to speed up, resulting in the symptoms of hyperthyroid...

22. Fate of Iodine in Thyroid Hormone Formation - Why Iodine is Necessary For Thyroid Hormone Formation August 03, 2009 To form sufficient quantities of the thyroid hormone thyroxine or T4, about 50 milligrams of iodine in the form of iodides in the diet is required every year. This just shows how important iodine is in the process of thyroid hormone formation and consequently, the regulation of the body’s metabolism. Iodides in the Diet The iodides available in your food are absorbed in the gastrointestinal in much the same way as chlorides. These are then normally rid of by the kidneys through the urine but not before the thyroid gland gets its share of iodides. This share constitutes about a fifth of t...
