Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease which causes hyperthyroidism.(particularly in the developed countries). normally TSH combines with the surface receptors of thyroid cells and causes the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones.
in Grave's disease the thyroid stimulating autoantibodies (B-TSAB) produced by B lymphocytes activate the TSH receptors and increase the secretion of thyroid hormones(thyroxine and triiodothyronine).
Grave's disease is due to elevated thyroid stimulating IgG also knoen as long acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) which activates TSH and, thereby, increases thyroid hormonal production.

What makes levels of TSH low in graves disease?
In graves disease, TSH level is lowered by thyroid gland, when it makes more thyroid hormone.
Doña Felisa is an elderly lady who has a deficiency of the hormone insulin which causes the deficiency disease?
A deficiency of insulin causes diabetes mellitus.
Why excess thyroxine causes hyperthyroidism?
Excess thyroxine in the body, known as hyperthyroidism, can occur due to conditions such as Graves' disease or nodules on the thyroid gland. This excess thyroxine leads to an overactive metabolism, resulting in symptoms like weight loss, rapid heart rate, and nervousness. It can also increase the risk of developing health issues such as heart problems and osteoporosis.
What is the cause of increase of hypersecretion of thyroxin?
toxic goiter and graves disease
What anterior pituitary hormone causes the enlarged ovarian follicle to rupture and release a mature ovum?
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is the anterior pituitary hormone that causes the enlarged ovarian follicle to rupture and release a mature ovum during ovulation.
Excessive production of thyroid hormone causes this disease?
Graves disease.
Can blood poisoning cause graves' disease?
No. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease that causes a overactive thyroid gland.
What makes levels of TSH low in graves disease?
In graves disease, TSH level is lowered by thyroid gland, when it makes more thyroid hormone.
Graves disease results from too much?
thyroid hormone (thyroxine or T4)
What hormone causes Graves disease when levels are too high and Cretinism in children when levels are too low?
The hormone involved is thyroid hormone, primarily thyroxine (T4), which is produced by the thyroid gland. In Graves' disease, excessive levels of thyroid hormone lead to hyperthyroidism, causing symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety. Conversely, low levels of thyroid hormone in children can result in cretinism, a condition characterized by severe physical and developmental delays. Proper regulation of thyroid hormone is crucial for normal growth and metabolism.

Graves' diseasegrave's disease
What is the definiton of Graves Disease?
Graves' disease is named after Irish doctor Robert Graves who first identified the condition in 1835. "Human Physiology: From Cells to Systems, Fourth Edition" says this thyroid autoimmune disease causes the body to overproduce thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI), an antibody that targets the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
What are symptoms of Graves disease?
Graves Disease is a form of Goiter. Where the Thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than the body can use. Here are some of the symptoms:Weight lossFrequent bowel movementsinsomniatremors of the handsirregular or rapid heartbeatnervousness or irritabilityHeat intolerance.
Which gland or hormone is affected when you have Graves Disease?
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland. It leads to an overproduction of thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4), which can result in symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.
