TSH values may change throughout the day *
Normal values of TSH typically range from 0.4-4.0 milli-international units per liter(mIU/L) *
Which gland produces TSH? *
No one particular laboratory test is 100% accurate, but a combination of two or more tests can usually detect abnormalities of thyroid function. *
Thyroid peroxidase, known as TPO: *
Thyroid antibodies are antibodies that develop when the immune system targets components of the thyroid gland or thyroid proteins causing: *
A TPO antibody test is the most common test for autoimmune thyroid disease and it can be used to detect both Graves Disease and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis *

The function of the thyroid gland is to take the iodine, found in our food, and convert it to two main hormones: *
Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of its metabolism. *
The production of thyroid hormones begins in the: *
The “3” and the “4” in T3 and T4 indicate the number of __________ molecules *
T3 is the biologically active hormone that is produced when an iodine molecule is cleaved from T4, a process called *
Thyroid hormones increase the pituitary synthesis of growth hormone. *
What is the main thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland? *
TSH is the hormone produced by the __________________ and stimulates the thyroidto synthesize and release thyroid hormones into the bloodstream *
Thyroid peroxidase is also known as: *
The most common test for autoimmune thyroid disease, which can be used to detect both Graves Disease and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, tests specifically for: *
The highest TPO antibody levels are observed in patients dealing with: *
Other autoimmune disorders may cause a positive TPO antibody test, such as Sjogren's syndrome, Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and pernicious anemia *
We cannot predict how bad, or good, a person feels simply by examining their hormone levels. *
The second most common form of hypothyroidism is: *
With Hashimoto’s, the body produces ___________ that attack and destroy the thyroid gland. *
What percentage of individuals with Hashimoto’s disease have circulating antithyroid peroxidase antibodies *
For most women who develop postpartum thyroiditis, thyroid function can return to normal: *
Although the thyroid gland is very resistant to infections, virtually any bacteria can infect the thyroid *
Proper nutrition plays a vital role in proper thyroid hormone production and absorption *
When the intestinal barrier becomes permeable and large protein molecules escape and enter the bloodstream it is called: *
Poor gut health can suppress thyroid function and trigger Hashimoto’s disease *
The gut hosts ________ of the immune tissues within the body *
