Endocrine Physiology Case Study 1: Analysis of Hormonal Effects Case Overview A male patient enters your office. He is in his mid-30s and in decent physical shape. He complains about being tired and seems to be gaining some weight, while not eating more than normal. He also describes being cold all the time. You decide to perform a blood test and receive the following results. Test Results Hypothyrodism is the diagnosis. Analysis of Test Results The common symptoms of hypothyrodism are fatigue, weight gain while not eating, and persistent coldness. Discussion/Conclusion Your metabolism slows down and your thyroid produces less hormones when you have hypothyroidism. As a result, you won't lose weight as quickly from calorie intake. Since these hormones are in charge of controlling metabolism and body temperature, cold intolerance is a well-known sign of hypothyroidism. You might feel exhausted if you have hypothyroidism due to lower energy.

Endocrine Physiology Case Study 2: Determining Hormonal Imbalance Case overview A 38-year-old male patient enters the office complaining about muscle twitches and feeling on edge. His pupils are dilated, and he notes an increase in body temperature. What hormone could be outside normal values and why? Discussion/Conclusion Elevated adrenaline levels brought on by stress, anxiety, or other underlying reasons could be a possible cause of the 38-year-old male patient's muscle spasms, increased anxiety, dilated pupils, and raised body temperature. The body's reaction to stress or perceived threat is manifested by elevated epinephrine levels, and the symptoms that follow are due to the physiological modifications brought on by the "fight-or-flight" response that is mediated by this hormone.
