Delange also performed research for neonatal screening for congenital hypothyroidism, using TSH levels as a marker for hypothyroidism.
The β (beta) subunit (TSHB) is unique to TSH, and therefore determines its receptor specificity.
: Dilution factor for T4 (reciprocal of apparent volume of distribution, 0.1 l−1)
It includes the well known INMAS Health centre, which is the biggest Thyroid centre all over India.

Carcinomas of the prostate, breasts, lungs, thyroid, and kidneys are the carcinomas that most commonly metastasize to bone.
The parafollicular cells of the thyroid produce calcitonin in response to high calcium levels, but its significance is much smaller than that of PTH.
Israel Doniach M.D., F.R.C.P. (1911–2001), pathologist and expert on the causes and diagnosis of thyroid cancers
De Quervain's thyroiditis: Subacute, non-bacterial inflammation of the thyroid gland, often after viral infection of respiratory tract.
Human thyroid receptor interacting protein 12 (TRIP12), which also contains this domain, is a component of an ATP-dependent multisubunit protein that interacts with the ligand binding domain of the thyroid hormone receptor.
Surgery (thyroidectomy to remove the whole thyroid or a part of it) is not extensively used because most common forms of hyperthyroidism are quite effectively treated by the radioactive iodine method, and because there is a risk of also removing the parathyroid glands, and of cutting the recurrent laryngeal nerve, making swallowing difficult, and even simply generalized staphylococcal infection as with any major surgery.
Thyroid hormones, T4 and TSH, diffuse across the placenta traveling from the mother to fetus for 10-12 weeks before the fetus’s own thyroid gland can begin synthesizing its own thyroid hormones.
Kessler had a brief bout with thyroid cancer, an affliction he shared with poet Paul Blackburn.
Mutations associated with papillary thyroid cancer are mainly two forms of chromosomal translocation and one form of point mutation.
Nuclear receptor, a receptor found within cells that is responsible for sensing steroid and thyroid hormones and certain other molecules
These may include serum BSL if olanzapine has previously been prescribed, thyroid function if lithium has previously been taken to rule out hypothyroidism, liver function tests if chlorpromazine has been prescribed, CPK levels to exclude neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and a urinalysis and serum toxicology screening if substance use is suspected.
While attending the US Open tennis tournament in New York in September 1995, Jane Bronstein, who is rather large and disfigured from childhood polio and a thyroid condition, was pictured in CBS file footage from the tournament.
Tiratricol, a common thyroid hormone analogue used for treating thyroid hormone resistance syndrome
The lipophilicity of T3 and T4 requires their binding to the protein carrier thyroid-binding protein (TBG) thyroxine-binding globulins, thyroxine binding prealbumins, and albumins for transport in the blood.
The American Thyroid Association (ATA) describes Wilson's syndrome as at odds with established knowledge of thyroid function.
