Thyroid hormones = TH's Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), secreted by the hypothalamus, stimulates the release of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Clinical (or overt) hypothyroidism is characterized by high levels of TSH and low levels of T4 and T3 Severe hypothyroidism can cause symptoms similar to Alzheimer's disease (AD) such as memory loss, confusion, slowness, paranoid depression and, in extreme stages, hallucination working memory deficits and executive dysfunctions in subclinical hypothyroid patients were reversed after 6 months of treatment with exogenous T4 (or L-thyroxine, LT4). For example, T3 modulates serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter integral to moods and behavior Thyroid disease occurs more frequently in women than it does in men (Hollowell et al, 2002) possibly due to an interaction between estrogen and THs. Estrogen blocks the efficiency of THs causing the thyroid gland to produce more TH in women than in men and probably contributing to larger thyroid gland in women (Tahboub and Arafah, 2009). Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are the two major hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Their role is to regulate metabolism, the conversion of oxygen and calories into energy. Of the two, T3 has four times the hormonal strength of T4. This is because T3 is considered the active form of thyroid hormone.
