Extractions: Studies have shown that radiation exposure to the thyroid gland can cause a variety of thyroid diseases. These include disorders of thyroid function , such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and disorders of growth , such as thyroid tumors. Thyroid tumors may be benign or malignant (cancer). Other types of thyroid disease are generally not known to be caused by radiation.

While epidemiological studies are few and somewhat conflicting, it appears that hypothyroidism occurs more frequently in certain breeds and lines, especially in large breed dogs. It is usually caused by lymphocytic thyroiditis (most likely an immune-mediated disease) or idiopathic thyroid atrophy (shrinking of thyroid tissue from unknown causes). The disease can occur in either sex and usually becomes apparent in young adults (1-3 years of age) or middle-aged dogs (4-9 years of age). Clinical signs may include hair loss, seborrhea, bacterial skin infections, excessive skin pigmentation, lethargy, obesity, muscle or nerve weakness, slow heart rate and reproductive disorders. Abnormal blood tests may reveal mild anemia and an increase in lipids, especially cholesterol. Making a definitive diagnosis of hypothyroidism can be difficult because signs of hypothyroidism can be confused with other diseases. In addition, interpretation of diagnostic tests for hypothyroidism can be confusing and not specific for thyroid dysfunction. Also, there is variation within normal thyroid hormone concentrations which must be considered when evaluating any test results. Younger dogs will have higher thyroid hormone concentrations than older dogs. Certain breeds, such as the greyhound, normally have lower thyroid hormone concentrations. At this time, there is no ideal test, which is readily available and affordable, that is specific for diagnosing hypothyroidism.

Extractions: Genzyme Corporate Research Search Genzyme Websites Welcome to Thyrogen.com Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer. It does, however, mean a lifetime of careful monitoring and testing. This often meant that, at least once a year, thyroid cancer patients would have to go off their thyroid hormones to prepare for the necessary tests. For weeks and often a few months, patients would experience symptoms of hypothyroidism, which may cause great discomfort and may even disrupt home life and work. Some patients may now have an alternative. Using Thyrogen (thyrotropin alfa for injection) in combination with common imaging and laboratory tests, provides patients with an alternative to thyroid hormone withdrawal and the difficulties it can cause while giving doctors an effective follow-up tool in the management of well-differentiated thyroid cancer. For more details, please read the full product information. Learn about thyroid cancer and the role that Thyrogen can play in your testing, whether you've just been diagnosed or you're a survivor.

http://kidshealth.org/teen/diseases_conditions/genetic/thyroid.html

Extractions: The thyroid is a small gland located below the skin and muscles at the front of the neck, just at the spot where a bow tie would rest. It's brownish red, with left and right halves (called lobes) that look like a butterfly's wings. It's light like a butterfly, too, and usually weighs less than an ounce. As small as it is, though, the thyroid has an enormously important job to do, especially for teens. It manufactures the hormones that help control metabolism and growth . To do its job, the thyroid needs a chemical element called iodine that the body absorbs from the foods you eat and the water you drink. The entire body contains about 50 milligrams of iodine. About 1/5 to 1/3 of that supply (10 to 15 milligrams) is stored in your thyroid. The thyroid combines the iodine with tyrosine (an essential amino acid ) to make important hormones. Thyroid hormones are released from the gland and travel through the bloodstream to your body's cells. They help control the growth and the structure of bones, sexual development ( puberty ), and many other body functions. By helping your cells convert oxygen and calories into the energy they need to work properly, these hormones are important in determining if your body will mature as it should. Thyroid hormones also directly affect how most of your organs function. So if your thyroid isn't operating properly, you can have problems in lots of other parts of your body.

Extractions: Janie didn't notice the changes very much at first - but her teachers did. Since starting sixth grade, Janie had become restless. She was squirmy and nervous, and it was hard for her to sit still in class. Paying attention was hard, too. Finally, Janie's teachers asked the school nurse to call her father. Janie's dad had noticed some changes as well. She was eating more than usual. But instead of gaining weight, Janie was getting thinner. And even though it was almost December, she was sweating a lot. He decided it was time for Janie to have a checkup. It didn't take Janie's doctor long to discover what was wrong. Janie had a problem with her thyroid gland. Now the doctor knew just how to help her. But first Janie had a question: what in the world is a thyroid? What Is the Thyroid? The thyroid (say: thi -royd) is a gland, which is an organ where special chemicals are produced. These chemicals are called hormones (say: hor -moans). The major thyroid hormones the gland makes and releases into the bloodstream are called T4 or thyroxine (say: thi- rocks -in), and T3 or

Extractions: More Information Note: A separate PDQ summary on Genetics of Medullary Thyroid Cancer is also available and information on thyroid cancer in children is available in the PDQ summary on Unusual Cancers of Childhood Carcinoma of the thyroid gland is an uncommon cancer but is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system. [ ] Differentiated tumors (papillary or follicular) are highly treatable and usually curable. Poorly-differentiated tumors (medullary or anaplastic) are much less common, are aggressive, metastasize early, and have a much poorer prognosis. Thyroid cancer affects women more often than men, and usually occurs in people between the ages of 25 and 65 years. The incidence of this malignancy has been increasing over the last decade. Thyroid cancer commonly presents as a cold nodule. The overall incidence of cancer in a cold nodule is 12% to 15%, but it is higher in people younger than 40 years and in people with calcifications present on preoperative ultrasonography. [ Risk factors Patients with a history of radiation administered in infancy and childhood for benign conditions of the head and neck, such as enlarged thymus, acne, or tonsillar or adenoidal enlargement, have an increased risk of cancer as well as other abnormalities of the thyroid gland. In this group of patients, malignancies of the thyroid gland first appear beginning as early as 5 years following radiation and may appear 20 or more years later. [

http://www.krispin.com/thyroid.html

Extractions: Thyroid Disease Support Information Please note: Low levels of protein, omega-3, potassium, zinc, copper, lithium and magnesium can affect your thyroid gland function. It is possible to test positive for hypo, hyper or auto-immune thyroid disease and yet correct the abnormal tests with excellent nutrition. Unless your thyroid disease symptoms are severe or life threatening you may want to try improving your nutrition before you commit to life long use of thyroid hormone. If you already take thyroid medication a good nutritional program will help you be as healthy as possible. Do not stop medication without advising your physician. Autoimmune thyroid disease almost always requires medication. Click on a topic for more information about protein essential fats, potassium and magnesium You have been diagnosed as having some form of thyroid disease. You may be hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, have Graves Disease or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. This information has not been prepared to take the place of being monitored by your physician. It is to help you help your physician determine your correct dose of thyroid medication and help you both maintain the correct dose. A secondary cautionary note to mention is that there is now recognized in the literature a 'thyroid resistance syndrome' similar in character to 'insulin resistance'. This manifests as symptoms of low thyroid function but normal thyroid blood work. An imbalance of omega-3/omega-6 fatty acids can contribute to this condition. Lowering omega-6 fats and dramatically increasing omega-3 (fish oil NOT flax) has improved or normalized thyroid function in some persons.

http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/thyroid/

Extractions: Endocrine Index Glossary Feeling run down and tired? Is your attention span poor? Do you really dislike playing in the snow? Lots of disorders can cause such complaints, but these types of symptoms are compatible with inadequate production of thyroid hormones, the primary endocrine secretion of the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones affect three fundamental physiologic processes: cellular differentiation, growth, and metabolism. If you think about that statement for a minute, you might legitimately ask "So what else is there?" which emphasizes just how much of physiology is affected by thyroid hormones. Not many hormones can claim as diverse a set of target cells. The thyroid gland also produces another hormone called calcitonin, and the parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin participate in control of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and have significant effects on bone physiology. Core information on the thyroid and parathyroid glands and their hormones is presented in the following topics: Advanced and supplemental information on the thyroid and parathyroid glands and the hormones they produce: Histology of the Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands

http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/hypopit/tsh.html

Extractions: Endocrine Index Glossary Thyroid-stimulating hormone, also known as thyrotropin, is secreted from cells in the anterior pituitary called thyrotrophs , finds its receptors on epithelial cells in the thyroid gland, and stimulates that gland to synthesize and release thyroid hormones. TSH is a glycoprotein hormone composed of two subunits which are non-covalently bound to one another. The alpha subunit of TSH is also present in two other pituitary glycoprotein hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone , and, in primates, in the placental hormone chorionic gonadotropin. Each of these hormones also has a unique beta subunit, which provides receptor specificity. In other words, TSH is composed of alpha subunit bound to the TSH beta subunit, and TSH associates only with its own receptor. Free alpha and beta subunits have essentially no biological activity. The most important controller of TSH secretion is thyroid-releasing hormone. Thyroid-releasing hormone is secreted by hypothalamic neurons into hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal blood, finds its receptors on thyrotrophs in the anterior pituitary and stimulates secretion of TSH. One interesting aspect of thyroid-releasing hormone is that it is only three amino acids long. Its basic sequence is glutamic acid-histidine-proline, although both ends of the peptide are modified.
