Consequences of a Low Iodide Diet
This does not happen in the United States because we get plenty of iodized salt in our diet, but it does happen in other parts of the world. If we don’t have enough iodide, we don’t have enough thyroxine production. If we don’t have enough thyroxine in the blood, the pituitary produces TSH to tell […]
Treatment for Hypoglycemic Reactions
Very real scenarios which must be examined and the treatment for chronic hypoglycemia.
Quick Refresher of Thyroid Physiology
The thyroid gland is regulated by TSH. Almost all iodide that’s absorbed into the blood stream will eventually end up in the thyroid gland. From there, we get the production of Thyroxine (T4) which is not the active hormone. T4 is converted to tri-iodothyronine which is the active hormone. This conversion takes place in the […]
