What hormone can result in a goiter?
It is a hormone called T4, or thyroxin. What would normally happen is that Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary would stimulate the thyroid to release T4. When enough T4 is produced, it inhibits TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone, from being secreted. However if enough T4 is not released to inhibit TSH (probably due to an iodine deficiency), then TSH keeps on secreting, overstimulating the thyroid and causing the swelling known as goiter.
Are glucocorticoids steroid hormones that ususall enhance the immune responses when an individual is suffering from stress?
glucocorticoids
What are the three functional categories of corticosteroids?
mineralocorticoids glucocorticoids sex steroids
What will happen when Thyroid Stimulating Hormone value is greater than the reference level?
When TSH is high, it stimulates the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormones. An elevated TSH usually means a hypOthyroid patient. Rarely, an elevated TSH may result in hypERthyroid symptoms when the feedback system that controls TSH production is not working properly.
State the hormone that normally stimulates the thyroid and the tissue where this hormones originates?
the thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh)..tsh is produced in the anterior pituitary lobe
Where are glucocorticoids produced?
Glucocorticoids are produced in the adrenal cortex.

Which hormone will increase blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is catabolic and increases blood glucose levels, insulin is anabolic decreases blood glucose levels.
Why are hormones used to treat thyroid cancer?
To prevent cancerous growth, the natural hormones that are produced by the thyroid are taken in the form of pills. Thus, their levels remain normal and inhibit the pituitary gland from making TSH
Where are natural glucocorticoids produced?
Natural glucocorticoids are produced in the adrenal glands located immediately above the kidneys.
Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
What does TSH level 3.89 mean?
is a 3.89 tsh level high?
What gland secrets glucocorticoids?
The adrenal gland secretes glucocorticoids. There are two adrenal glands in the human body that sit on top of each kidney.
Are cortisone and cortisol both mineralocorticoids?
No, they are glucocorticoids.
Is a TSH of 1.08 good?
Yes, a TSH of 1.08 is within the normal range.
As thyroxine levels increase in the blood they exert negative feedback on the release of TSH by the pituitary gland. What effect will this have on the release of TSH?
As thyroxine levels increase the amount of TSH produced will decrease. On the other hand, when TSH levels increase the thyroxine levels will decrease. This is what causes the TSH/thyroxine levels to fluctuate.
