Neuroendocrine Regulation of Development, Growth and Metabolism – Thyroid

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on various aspects of thyroidology and the role thyroid hormone in normal development for adult health. The mature human rodent gland consists two elongated oval lobes, one each side trachea, joined near their posterior poles by a thin isthmus crossing trachea ventrally. There are several physiological implications anatomy chemistry hormone. First, observation that iodinated thyroglobulin is stored large quantities indicates there great deal resilience system. controlled principally proximally an interaction between iodine availability — requirement synthesis thyrotropin (TSH) from pituitary gland. true humans rodents, as well other vertebrates. use transgenic mouse models has led to important progress clarifying relative roles hypothalamus controlling function.
