Thyroid: Physiology and Disease
This year’s search for thyroid publications has again revealed a number of more than 3,000 references under the search heading ‘thyroid’. The selection for those papers which might have an impact for the pediatric endocrine community, either due to the general new information about thyroid function or due to its relevance for clinical purposes, ended up with a list of 0.8% of this large number ...
متن کاملEndocrine disruptors and thyroid hormone physiology.
Endocrine disruptors are man-made chemicals that can disrupt the synthesis, circulating levels, and peripheral action of hormones. The disruption of sex hormones was subject of intensive research, but thyroid hormone synthesis and signaling are now also recognized as important targets of endocrine disruptors. The neurological development of mammals is largely dependent on normal thyroid hormone...
متن کاملIodine metabolism and thyroid physiology: current concepts.
Iodine plays a central role in thyroid physiology, being both a major constituent of thyroid hormones (THS) and a regulator of thyroid gland function. This review concerns those aspects of thyroid physiology in which significant advances have been made in recent years. We have known for decades that the thyroid gland concentrates iodine (I-) against an electrochemical gradient by a carrier-medi...
متن کاملThe physiology of thyroid function in pregnancy.
Pregnancy has a variety of effects on maternal thyroid function. Thyroid gland enlargement is common particularly in areas of relative iodine deficiency. The renal clearance of iodine is increased in pregnancy and together with an increased volume of iodine distribution, leads to a low plasma inorganic iodine and thus increases the thyroidal iodine clearance. However, the absolute iodine uptake...
متن کاملScientjfic Basis of Clinical Practice Thyroid Physiology
The thyroid develops from the endoderm in the floor of the pharynx and migrates downwards, anterior to the primitive gut. Faults in the process cause thyroglossal cyst and fistula and the presence of thyroid tissue in abnormal situations, such as the posterior part of the tongue and retrosternally. In mammals the thyroid also contains cells derived from the last branchial pouches, the parafolli...
