Thyroid News Articles

The Thyroid is an endocrine gland located in the neck, that makes two hormones (T4 or thyroxine and T3 or triiodothyronine, which are frequently simply called "thyroid hormone") that regulate the body's metabolic rate. Overactivity of the thyroid gland is called hyperthyroidism; underactivity is called hypothyroidism. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism may have an autoimmune basis, and both are somewhat more common in people with Type 1 diabetes.
