Thyroid Gland Grows in the Cold I have just come across an interesting paper (see summary/abstract below). Pigs were kept in a cold environment (4 degrees C). This resulted in "increased energy intake, thyroid size, T3 PAR, and hepatic 5'D-I activity with little change in serum TSH". As I understand it, that is basically saying that the pigs... 21 Apr 2008 15:47

I just went up to 50 about a week ago, and I feel a little strange, sort of anxious and unsettled, yet I still feel foggy at the same time. The fog is bad in the mor... 20 Apr 2008 22:47
Why cats and dogs get thyroid problems? I found the following article. I don't know how well regarded the Environmental Working Group are, but the story is at the very least interesting. A couple of quotes: "Endocrine (hormone) system toxins raise particular concerns for cats, since they include the thyroid toxins and fire retardants called PBDEs... 17 Apr 2008 15:47

24-hr TSH plot I remember that diurnal variations of TSH have been already discussed in this group. I've just met an interesting plot, which shows change of TSH from 1.0 to 4.5 during 24 hours (!): http://www.psycheducation.org/thyroid/studies.htm (to the importance of the same time of TSH tests). ... 18 Apr 2008 19:51

Arlyn Slow Posts! Seems your posts are not getting through properly.

I suspect a problem with Teranews propagating to the rest of the world. Thought you might like to k... 14 Apr 2008 01:32
Hashimoto's vs. T4/T3 conversion problem Hi all, Anyone care to venture a theory on whether Hashimoto's patients are more or less likely than other hypothyroid patients to have a T4 to T3 conversion problem? If I remember correctly, about 80% of the body's T3 is converted from T4. The thyroid itself is supposed to produce the other 20% or so. So, ... 14 Apr 2008 03:08 |
