A

Potent protein anabolic effect

127
Q

In large doses, thyroid hormone has a

A

Protein catabolic effect

128
Q

Increased thyroid hormone

A

decreases the concentrations of cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides in the plasma, even though it increases the free fatty acids.

129
Q

The large increase in circulating plasma cholesterol in prolonged hypothyroidism is often associated with

A

severe atherosclerosis

130
Q

One of the mechanisms by which thyroid hormone decreases plasma cholesterol concentration is to

A

Increase significantly cholesterol secretion in the bile and consequent loss in the feces

131
Q

A possible mechanism for the increased cholesterol secretion is that thyroid hormone induces increased numbers of

A

low-density lipoprotein
receptors on the liver cells, leading to rapid removal of low-density lipoproteins from the plasma by the liver and
subsequent secretion of cholesterol in these lipoproteins by the liver cells

A

Hypothyroidism

159
Q

Hypothyroidism pt first have this

A

Thyroiditis - inflammation

160
Q

Goitrous glands may secrete normal quantities of thyroid hormones, but more frequently, the secretion of hormone is depressed

A

Idiopathic nontoxic colloid goiter

161
Q

Iodine is not pumped adequately into the thyroid cells

A

Deficient iodide-trapping mechanism

162
Q

Iodides aren’t oxidized to the iodine state

A

Deficient peroxidase system

163
Q

Final thyroid hormones cannot be formed

A

Deficient coupling of iodinated tyrosines in the thyroglobulin molecule

164
Q

Prevents recovery of ipdine from the iodinated tyrosines that are not coupled to form the thyroid hormones thus leading to iodine deficiency

A

Enz deiodinase deficiency

165
Q

Prevents recovery of ipdine from the iodinated tyrosines that are not coupled to form the thyroid hormones thus leading to iodine deficiency

A

Enz deiodinase deficiency
