Role of thyroid hormone
Thyroid hormones are necessary for proper metabolism, growth, and homeostasis.
All tissues experience an increase in oxygen consumption when stimulated by thyroid hormones with the exceptions of the brain, testes, and spleen.
Thyroid hormones stimulate carbohydrate use, glucose absorption, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis.
Thyroid hormones also promote the growth and maintenance of healthy, mature central nervous, and skeletal systems.
Under- or overactivity of the thyroid gland may negatively affect the nervous system, cardiovascular system, skeletal system, and metabolism.
Our prospect
Understand the physiology of the hypothalamic-thyroid-pituitary axis and the importance of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4.
Define hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism and list common causes.
Interpret basic laboratory thyroid function tests to determine hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or euthyroidism.
Discuss oral thyroid replacement products available for the treatment of hypothyroidism and the appropriate use of these products.
Compare the available treatment modalities for patients with hyperthyroidism and their appropriate use.
Decide appropriate management strategies for special populations with thyroid disorders, especially pregnant and lactating women.
