Disorders of the thyroid gland are the most common endocrine disorders in humans, and an extensive historical and scientific literature is available. Among the domestic animals, thyroid function and its diseases are well known in companion animals but less so in livestock. In livestock, nutritional ...
These thyroid hormone changes may be mediated in part by cytokines or other inflammatory mediators, acting at the level of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, the thyroid gland, and the hepatic deiodinase system. The degree of thyroid function disturbance correlates with disease severity and low ...
In 1656, Warton suggested that the gland was more prominent in women because its role was to round out and beautify the neck.1 Gull’s report in 1874 “On a cretinoid state supervening in adult life in women,” was one of the first descriptions which drew attention to similarities between...

Thyroid gland: Function The thyroid gland controls just about every cell in the human body. It secretes hormones calcitonin, T4 (thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine) and T3 (triiodothyronine) into the bloodstream. The hormones control the rate at which cells and organs turn nutrients into energy and ...
We confirm that hypothyroidism is enriched in children with Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder marked by Notch mutations, suggesting that these findings translate to humans.This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ...
In humans, the thyroid gland becomes functional around 3 to 4 months of foetal life. Thus our exposure period corresponds to a period of human foetal development where only maternal thyroid hormone is available. In our model, the maternal thyroid hormone source is present in the yolk. Each ...
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone, which consists of follicles in which thyroid hormone is synthesized through iodine of tyrosine residues in the glycoprotein thyroglobulin [20,21]. The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis regulates thyroid function through a typical endocrine feedback loop ...

The serum levels of T3, T4, rT3, and corrected T3(CrT3) in the test group were not significantly different from controls at each interval. Thyroid gland weights and thyroid to brain weight ratios were not significantly (p> 0.05) increased in the test group at each sacrifice interval. ...
