Thyroglobulin (TG) is the protein precursor of thyroid hormones, which are essential for growth, development and the control of metabolism in vertebrates1,2. Hormone synthesis from TG occurs in the thyroid gland via the iodination and coupling of pairs of tyrosines, and is completed by TG proteo...
In view of the number of supernumerary glands and their location, it is concluded that wide excision of fat tissue surrounding the parathyroids and thymectomy should be performed during operation in patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to uremia or those with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes...
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland. You would find it located in the lower neck, right below the Adam’s apple. The location is the same in both men and women. What the thyroid does is create and store thyroid hormone. It then releases the hormone in appropriate amounts to keep ...

Map Location1p32.3 Pathway- Gene SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family. It catalyzes the activation, as well as the inactivation of thyroid hormone by outer and inner ring deiodination, respectively. The activation reaction involves the conversion of the...
The disorder is centered in the thyroid gland, an endocrine gland located beneath the larynx in the throat that secretes a number of different hormones that are chiefly involved in metabolism and growth. Many individuals who have Hashimoto’zs disease do not display symptoms, though testing of ...
The disparity in the reported prevalence rates among the included studies can be attributed to various factors related to the baseline characteristics of the study populations, such as their geographic location, ethnicity, and age distribution. The prevalence of clinically manifested thyroid disorders in...

4. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the foetus is unable to produce these hormones itself, and relies entirely on the maternal thyroid hormone stores5,6. In the later stages of pregnancy, the role of the mother is to maintain an adequate iodine supply to the foetal thyroid gland7....
This combination of height, width, and depth ultimately builds a complete 3D picture of the precise location of every anatomical structure. Without cross-sections, you wouldn’t be able to truly understand how muscles are layered, how organs are wedged or contact one another, or how ...
