Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is too active and produces an excess of thyroid hormones. This makes the body's functions speed up and leads to symptoms such as shaking, weight loss and anxiety.

In the UK, about one in 500 men and one in 50 women will develop hyperthyroidism at some point in their lives in the UK. I dont know the facts and figures for other nations.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are similar glycoproteins. FSH and LH are also called gonadotropins because they stimulate the activities of the gonads.TSH promotes normal development of the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates the production and secretion of steroid hormones by the adrenal cortex.signals to the brain stimulate release of an anterior pituitary tropic hormone. The tropic hormone then acts on its target endocrine tissue, stimulating secretion of a hormone that exerts systemic metabolic or developmental effects.
