Thyroid disease is a global health problem that can substantially impact well-being, particularly in pregnancy and childhood. Statistics show that thyroid conditions are 5 to 10 times more common in women compared to men.
Hormones released by the thyroid gland play a crucial role in stimulating metabolism, growth, and calories processing.
Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis
The hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis primarily functions to maintain normal circulating levels of thyroid hormones that are essential for the biological function of our tissues.
