Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones01:20

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

4.3K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
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...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

394
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Adrenal Gland Disorders01:27

Adrenal Gland Disorders

1.4K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

Major Hormones and Their Functions

340
Hormones, the biochemical messengers produced by endocrine glands, are pivotal in regulating bodily functions and maintaining homeostasis. Each hormone's balance is crucial; imbalances can lead to significant physiological disruptions. Major hormones include oxytocin, cortisol, epinephrine, estrogen, testosterone, thyroxine, growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon.
Oxytocin, produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, plays a role in social bonding, childbirth, and...

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

2.6K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

2.6K
The thyroid hormone (TH) plays a pivotal role in the intricate orchestration of physiological processes, exerting profound effects on development, metabolism, and homeostasis throughout different life stages.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Endocrinology
  • Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases

Background:

  • Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin condition affecting pilosebaceous units.
  • HS is frequently associated with other autoimmune disorders.
  • The potential link between HS and hyperthyroidism requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and hyperthyroidism.
  • To determine if hyperthyroidism is a risk factor for developing HS.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the National Institute of Health (NIH) All of Us Researcher Program.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study matching individuals by age and health surveys.
  • Assessed HS prevalence in hyperthyroid patients versus controls.

Main Results:

  • Analyzed 407,333 matched patients.
  • HS prevalence was 1.40% in patients with hyperthyroidism compared to 0.38% in controls.
  • A statistically significant association was found (p < 0.0001, OR = 3.717).

Conclusions:

  • Hyperthyroidism is significantly correlated with an increased prevalence of HS.
  • Further research is warranted on hyperthyroidism's role in HS.
  • Investigate potential screening and management strategies for both conditions.
