Thyroid Function in the Elderly
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1988Many differences in thyroid function exist between elderly and younger populations. Although serum T4 levels probably do not change with age, serum T3 levels appear to decline. Hyperthyroidism in the geriatric population may be atypical and is characterized by anorexia and constipation. The pulse rate is often slower than in younger patients. Apathetic

A reciprocal interaction between the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis and the adipose tissue is required for the proper homeostasis of energy balance. In this chapter, the mechanisms by which the two systems regulate each other and the effects of thyroid dysfunctions on body weight will be discussed.

Thyroid, 1992
Cordocentesis has permitted the study of fetal thyroid function in utero. In normal fetuses, fetal TSH, TBG, and thyroid hormone concentrations increase progressively throughout intrauterine life. Fetal TSH concentrations are always high compared to nonpregnant adult values. TBG concentrations reach adult levels at term.

Emergencies in Thyroid Function
Journal of Emergency Nursing, 2009The thyroid gland can be an overlooked source of a medical emergency. This butterfly-shaped gland is located just inferior to the larynx on the anterior neck and is responsible for the metabolic rate of many processes in the human body. A hyperthyroid state elevates the rate of metabolism, and a hypothyroid state is cause for a decreased metabolic rate.

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2009
Cordocentesis has permitted the study of fetal thyroid function. In normal pregnancy, fetal blood thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid hormones and thyroid-binding globulin increase with advancing gestation demonstrating functional maturation of the pituitary, thyroid and liver, respectively. The administration of thyroid-releasing hormone to the

THYROID FUNCTION IN THE NEONATE
Clinical Endocrinology, 1973SUMMARYUrinary thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels, when corrected for creatinine excretions, were significantly elevated in 5‐day‐old infants as compared with levels in normal adults and women during the third trimester of pregnancy. This was consistent with the finding that their free thyroxine index was increased and suggests that the circulating ...

Functional Morphology of the Thyroid
1988Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the characteristic ultrastructural and cytochemical functions of the follicular epithelial cell. The relationship between the uniqueness of the secreted hormones and that of the functional morphology of the thyroid gland and the follicular epithelial cell is also discussed.

Cytokines and thyroid function
Advances in Neuroimmunology, 1996Cytokines play a crucial role in autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) through various mechanisms. They are produced in the thyroid by intrathyroidal inflammatory cells, in particular lymphocytes, as well as by the thyroid follicular cells (TFC) themselves and may thus act in a cascade to enhance the autoimmune process (Fig. 1).
