Thyroid

When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4. These hormones regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.

Unless your doctor asks you to fast for your thyroid test(s), usually you do not need to for a blood test. Some thyroid tests, such as a thyroid uptake scan, requires you to stay away from eating certain fish (usually shellfish) prior to and shortly after the test is conducted. Talk with your doctor if you have any questions regarding how they want you to prepare for your thyroid tests.

I had my thyroid removed in December. I was sure to read all the bad news about thyroid removal to prepare myself for the worse! However, i have had some good results. I was out of work a week and a half, gained only 2 pounds in 7 months, and have a small scar about an inch long that continues to improve. I also was fortunate enough to have found the right level of synthroid after 2 doctor visits. So I am very happy with the results! My doctor advised me to not exceed 5 lbs in weight gain or loss in order to maintain the level of synthroid I take now. All is well!

When having a Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) or transferrin, than it is necessary to avoid eating or drinking for 8 hours before the blood test. It is not necessary to fast when having a ferritin blood test.

Himalayas experiences a lot of snow, which leaches iodine out of the soil. Thus, food grown on the soil lacking iodine would therefore have very low iodine content. This leads to low dietary intake of iodine and consequently iodine deficiency. Goitre is a mild symptom of iodine deficiency. The high leaching of iodine from the soil within the region has been attributed to the endemic of goitre in the Himalayas.

At age 50 after 25 years of thyroid replacement therapy (armour thyroid for 20 years until I stopped absorbing it) I tried T3 but it had just come out and was not yet time released which was not pleasant. Finally after much research and with a master Homeopath who assured me it I could live without a thyroid I went on Homeopathic thyroid replacement . The main remedy is Iodine.(with the premise that the pituitary gland will take over) I felt very good for several months but as time went on I became very constipated. After almost one year I gave up on the Homeopathic program because I was slowing down to a standstill and kept gaining weight. Now I have been once again on T3 for a year , doing much better as it is now time-released. So I would venture to say that yes you can live without a thyroid for about one year.

Glands such as thyroid that secrete their product directly in the blood are a part of the endocrine system. The endocrine system includes the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.

The gland that is located in the neck, next to the thyroid gland is the parathyroid. Most people have four parathyroid glands. The parathyroid glands are very small in size, almost the size of a grain of rice, which are located around the surface of the thyroid gland. The parathyroid produces a hormone called the parathyroid hormone. According toparathyroid.com, the major function of the parathyroid glands are to maintain the body's normal balance of calcium levels in the blood as well as the bones. Maintaining a normal range of parathyroid hormones also affects the nervous and muscular systems.

Thyroid follicles are the tiny spheres that the thyroid gland is made of. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits around the base of the neck, near the Adam's apple. It produces hormones that regulate the metabolism.

An overactive thyroid occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormones. This is commonly referred to as hyperthyroidism. An overactive thyroid usually causes a person to loose weight or have difficulty in gaining weight.

The condition characterized most often by hyperthyroidism, goiter and exophthalmos is Graves' Disease - an autoimmune disease in which the body creates antibodies against TSH receptors, stimulating the thyroid to overproduce hormone. Those same antibodies can attack other parts of the body with TSH receptors as well, including skin, bone and eyes.

Too little thyroxine results in a condition of hypothyroidism. Because thyroid hormones control the metabolism of all the cells in the body, the organism's metabolism may continue to slow until the condition is treated, or until death.
