Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to
produce adequate amounts crucial hormones. In the early stages,
persons suffering from this condition may be asymptomatic. However,
chronic hypothyroidism may show signs of paleness. Please explain the
physiological reasons for this symptomatology.
Blood level of calcium is regulated tightly within 8.5-10.5 mg/dL in our body. Explain the molecular mechanisms by which vitamin D, derived from diet or cutaneous synthesis, increases blood calcium levels by stimulating intestinal calcium absorption, renal calcium reabsorption, and bone resorption (15 points). Please include vitamin D activation steps and effector molecules involved.
