What else can I help you with?
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?
No, glucocorticoids are a type of corticosteroid hormone that typically suppresses the immune system in times of stress. They work by inhibiting inflammation and reducing the activity of immune cells.
What are the three functional categories of corticosteroids?
The three functional categories of corticosteroids are glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and sex hormones. Glucocorticoids regulate metabolism and immune response, mineralocorticoids control electrolyte balance and blood pressure, and sex hormones influence sexual characteristics and reproductive function.
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
What secretes glucocorticoids and mineralocoricoids?
Glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are secreted by the adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands in response to signals from the pituitary gland via the hormone adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Glucocorticoids help regulate metabolism and immune response, while mineralocorticoids are involved in regulating electrolyte balance and blood pressure.
Where are glucocorticoids produced?
Glucocorticoids are produced in the adrenal cortex.

Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
Where are natural glucocorticoids produced?
Natural glucocorticoids are produced in the adrenal glands located immediately above the kidneys.
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
What does TSH level 3.89 mean?
is a 3.89 tsh level high?
Why do glucocorticoids cause hyperglycemia?
Glucocorticoids cause hyperglycemia by increasing the production of glucose in the liver and reducing the uptake of glucose by cells in the body.
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.
Are glucocorticoids steroid hormones that ususall enhance the immune responses when an individual is suffering from stress?
No, glucocorticoids are a type of corticosteroid hormone that typically suppresses the immune system in times of stress. They work by inhibiting inflammation and reducing the activity of immune cells.
Is a TSH value of 5.35 considered hyperthyroidism?
Because TSH is a part of the body's negative feedback system which controls the thyroid's output of thyroid hormones, a DECREASE of TSH would indicate hypERthyroidism. An INCREASE of TSH indicates hypOthyroidism.
