Chapter 7, Problem 1CSL

The traditional surgical procedure to treat advanced thyroid gland tumors is to remove the affected organ. Some concerns with the results of this surgery were raised regarding the parathyroid glands, which are small attachments on the posterior side of the thyroid gland. Why should the surgeon be concerned about the removal of these glands? A new procedure has been developed to sequester some parathyroid gland tissue into a plastic mesh holder and implant this small holder back into the body. Why is this implant an advantage to the patient?

You work for a pharmaceutical company where you are assigned the task of creating new drug therapies to treat thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism (high levels of T3 and T4) and hypothyroidism (low levels of T3 and T4). Your team has designed a few drugs, and your job is to identify which drug(s) would be successful in treating thyroid disorders based on your knowledge of thyroid hormone synthesis. Below is the list of drugs your team designed (all of these are hypothetical drugs). Please identify the drug(s) that would be successful in treating hypothyroidism, and explain why and how they would be successful. Aldosine: A drug that inhibits production of angiotensinogen from the liver Aldoramine: A drug that inhibits sodium/iodine cotransporter Thyromine: A drug that stimulates thyroglobulin production Peroxidine: A drug that inhibits thyroid peroxidase from functioning Cimigine: A drug that inhibits potassium/iodine cotransporter Iodimine: A drug that inhibits iodinase from…

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.
