“The doctor diagnosed her with an overactive thyroid, which explained her rapid weight loss and increased heart rate.”

“The thyroid releases too much of the hormone thyroxine, which increases the person's basal metabolic rate.”

“For example, thyroxine for thyroid cancer, tamoxifen for oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer, and stilboestrol for cancer of the prostate.”

“Human beings require iodine for the production of the thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine.”

“The evaluation of erectile dysfunction includes a sexual history, a genital examination, a serum testosterone level, and prolactin and thyrotropin levels.”

“The present studies demonstrate that iodine depletion increases the sensitivity of the thyroid to the goitrogenic effects of thyrotropin.”

“Evidence for the secretion of thyrotropin with enhanced bioactivity in syndromes of thyroid hormone resistance.”

“The test measures a protein known as thyroglobulin, which is made by thyroid-cancer cells.”

“Glutathione peroxidase in thyroid tissue also controls thyroglobulin iodination.”

“Thyroid antibodies were measured by an immunoradiographic procedure using thyroglobulin and purified thyroid peroxidase in 11 subjects.”

“In cases that are known to be tuberculous, the feeling prevails that thyrotomy is not to be recommended.”

“The requirements and first and second stages of the operation are similar to those for thyrotomy.”

“In many instances, therefore, thyrotomy is the first stage in the operation of total laryngectomy.”

“Occasionally, patients with autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease also have HAIR-AN syndrome.”

“The most common cause of goitrous hypothyroidism in adults is: A. Graves' disease. B. Riedel's thyroiditis. C. Hashimoto's disease.”

“Beals also suffered from thyroiditis, an inflammation of the thyroid gland that contributes to fatigue.”

“At baseline, serum ferritin and antithyroid peroxidase antibodies were measured and a thyrotrophin releasing hormone test was performed.”

“Some investigators have claimed that lead affects both peripheral thyroid hormone levels and basal and stimulated thyrotrophin levels in lead-exposed males.”

“Anterior pituitary function was investigated in five patients using glucagon, thyrotrophin releasing hormone, and gonadotrophin releasing hormone challenge.”

“Thyroideal cells are exposed to endogenous H202 that acts as a cofactor for the iodination of thyroxin precursors.”

“Laboratory testing revealed normal thyroid-stimulating hormone, triiodothyronine, and free thyroxin levels.”

“When this happens your gland doesn't produce enough thyroxin, which can have all sorts of effects.”

“A small thyroidotomy exposed one end of the serrated bone, which was simply grasped and pulled straight out toward the pyriform fossa.”
