Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide and a major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality.1 Although our understanding of its classic risk factors has improved, the prevalence of NAFLD has increased rapidly; thus, further investigation of modifiable risk factors for NAFLD is needed.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
Functions of Thyroid Hormones
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...
