The Thyroid Gland and how it affects hormones.
The thyroid gland is a small gland located at the base
of your throat, or Adam's apple, that is responsible for
converting the iodine found in many foods into the thyroid
hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These
hormones are released into the bloodstream for the purpose
of controlling metabolism. Thyroid problems can be as
serious as cancer or as minimal as an enlarged gland,
also known as a goiter. The most common thyroid problems,
however, involve the over and under production of thyroid
hormones:
- Hyperthyroidism - The overproduction of thyroid hormones
- Hypothyroidism - The underproduction of thyroid hormones
