Which hormone causes grave's disease?
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.
Overactivity of the thyroid gland is referred to as?
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid glandproduces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body's metabolism significantly. It causes what is called Grave's Disease.

What happens when thyroxine increases?
When thyroxin levels increase in the body, it can lead to a condition called hyperthyroidism. Thyroxin is a hormone that the thyroid gland secretes. Hyperthyroidism can causes symptoms like weight loss, hand tremors, and weakness in muscles. This condition requires treatment.
Chronic release of excess thyroxine can cause a sustained increase in heart rate and a weakened heart?
Yes. With the excess secretion, also known as hypersecretion, of thyroxine (T4) causes an increased heart rate, high blood pressure, possible palpitations, and could lead to heart faliure.
What is causing hyperthyroidisms?
There are several causes of hyperthyroidism. Most often, the entire gland is overproducing thyroid hormone. Less commonly, a single nodule is responsible for the excess hormone secretion, called a "hot" nodule

How does thyroxin effect the human body?
Thyroxine is the hormone which controls the bodies metabolism. Increased thyroxine levels in the body may come about due to a tumor on/in the pituitary gland. This happens because of the hormone which stimulates the thyroid becomes over active and can lead to excess thyroxine levels
Why would hyperthyroidism cause the blood pH to become acidic?
