Q

T3- receptor complex binds to _______ on DNA to stimulate transcription of genes

A

Thyroid-regulatory element

26
Q

Translation and new synthesis of proteins tend to be tissue

A

specific depending on effect

27
Q

how can thyroid hormones enter cells?

A

Na/ K ATPase, Transport proteins, B1 adrenergic receptors and proteolytic enzymes

28
Q

Increased oxygen consumption and increased Na/ K ATPase is associated with

A

increased cell activity

29
Q

thyroid hormones increase cardiac output and pulse pressure (increased synthesis of

A

B-1 adrenergic receptors (Increase HR)

30
Q

effect of thyroid hormones on BMP: Increase

A

thermogenesis

31
Q

thyroid hormones increase supply of substrates for production of energy. Need substrates for oxidation. Increase _______?

A

Mobilize glucose, Gluconeogenesis. absorption of glucose from GIT, lipolysis and FFA oxidation

32
Q

how does thyroid hormones affect appetite, gut absorption and motility

A

Increases

33
Q

Thyroid hormones also increases mobilization of

A

carbs and fat

34
Q

Protein synthesis vs degradation dependent on thyroid hormone levels: If thyroid hormone levels are normal

A

protein synthesis predominates

35
Q

Protein synthesis vs degradation dependent on thyroid hormone levels: If thyroid hormone levels are high

A

protein degradation predominates AA for energy

36
Q

_______ is required for normal growth

A

Thyroid hormones

37
Q

Thyroid hormones act with GH and IGFs to promote?

A

Growth of bone, cartilage, teeth, epidermis and hair

38
Q

Thyroid hormones are essential for normal maturation of

A

CNS

39
Q

Thyroid hormones increase blood flow and glucose metabolism in the

A

brain

40
Q

Thyroid hormones enhance

A

peripheral nerve reflexes (activates skeletal muscles and deep tendon reflexes)

41
Q

Thyroid hormones interact with SNS to have similar effects on increasing

A

cardiac output and heat production etc.

42
Q

Thyroid hormones in the ANS activate

A

Smooth and cardiac muscle

43
Q

_______ is it when there is an overactive thyroid, excess thyroxine

A

Hyperthyroidism

44
Q

_______ are the clinical signs of hyperthyroidism

A

Increased metabolic rate, food intake, heat production, heart rate, weight loss, muscle weakness and atrophy

45
Q

Hyperthyroidism is common in?

A

Cats

46
Q

Hyperthyroidism is common in cats due to adenoma, adenocarcinoma and thyroid disruptors including

A

Flame retardants (thyroid disruptors)

47
Q

Hyperthyroidism is seen in horses and dogs usually do to?

A

Thyroid adenocarcinoma

48
Q

_______ is high in hyperthyroidism?

A

T3 and t4

49
Q

If disorder is in thyroid gland, TSH is

A

LOW

50
Q

Over producing thyroid hormones lots of T3 for negative feedback so

A

TSH is inhibited

51
Q

If disorder is in hypothalamus or pituitary, TSH is

A

HIGH

52
Q

When disorder in in hypothalamus or pituitary, TSH is high, over producing TSH constantly

A

stimulates thyroid hormones

53
Q

Typical blood tests show low _______ and high _______

A

TSH, T4

54
Q

underactive thyroid, low thyroid hormones

A

Hypothyroidism

55

58
Q

T3 and T4 is _______ in hypothyroidism

A

low

59

If issue is in hypothalamus or pituitary gland for central hypothyroidism (TSH is Low) Not producing TSH as normal so no stimulus for

A
