Thyroxine Hormone Function

To read this page, the body temperature must be at a certain level. If the temperature falls or rises too much, you die. For this reason, some systems that maintain body temperature at a certain level have been created and placed inside the human body. One such system is an unusual hormone thyroxine. The body reaches a certain temperature after the 100 billion cells. We compared these cells to micro-heaters, and a single molecule, which controls the amount of heat that each micro-heater must provide a hormone thyroxine.

 

That in itself is strange that the cells produce a certain amount of heat as they do their job and that the total amount of heat produced by the 100 trillion cells is exactly the amount that may be necessary for humans to survive. In addition, the molecules of thyroxine to know how many cells of the warmth needed. With all this the fact that the cells on how they can work on the metabolism and increase body temperature is still a miracle of creation.

 

The Delicate Control Mechanism

 

Very advanced and organized system was created to regulate the amount of thyroxine secreted. secretion of thyroxine occurs again after all unconscious subordination of cells organized in a hierarchy very disciplined.

 

When thyroxine is needed, the system of the brain hypothalamic hormone - sends a command (TRH, thyroid releasing hormone) to the conductor of the orchestra of hormones (pituitary gland). After receiving instructions from the pituitary that includes the thyroid must be activated and immediately sends a command (TSH-TSH) in the thyroid. The thyroid, as the last point in this chain of command immediately releases thyroxine online and distributed throughout the body as blood.

  

When there is a need for thyroxine, the hypothalamus sends a command to the pituitary gland (TRH). pituitary gland, which receives the command assumes that the thyroid needs to be enabled. Pituitary immediately sends a command to the thyroid (TSH). In accordance with the contract, he immediately receives the thyroid produces thyroxine and thyroxine is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream.

How is the amount of this hormone that is secreted must be determined? How is it that, except in case of sickness, no more or less of this hormone that is needed is excreted?

 

The amount of thyroxine secreted is determined by a special system created by the great art of God. This system is based on two distinct mechanisms for negative feedback and is an example of incomparable miracle of engineering design.

 

If the amount of thyroxine in the blood rises above normal, the hormone thyroxine creates a very interesting effect on the pituitary gland, and sometimes directly into the hypothalamus: reduced sensitivity of pituitary hormone TRH.

 

hormonal function is to activate TRH pituitary to send a command (a hormone TSH) in the thyroid. This command is the second point of command in the production of the hormone thyroxine.

 

The system is designed such that an excess of thyroxine is a very intelligent action so that the source, which is in itself did not do too much, and it is disturbing and Severe command set for its own production . Thus, when thyroxine in the blood rises above normal production of thyroxine is automatically curtains.

 

We can easily understand the examples: Imagine that a small intelligent machines were made in a factory. These machines were made in three steps:

1. First Step: Production of the computer sends a command to computer B. 
2. Step Second: B, computer translates the command into another language and sends it to computer C.
3. The third stage: the computer C starts the desired device using a robot.

 

Suddenly, the production exceeds what is required and may not be able to more machines are needed. At this stage, one of the machines of the time goes to computer B and remove the cable from computer to computer B, A. Now, computer B can not receive commands from a command A. Because your production does not reach the C computer, stopping production and computers in the last action until they are exhausted. When time runs out, the cable connecting the computer to computer B through the machine and resume production.

 

If this were the machines that can monitor their own production and the machines that produce them so intelligently, the revolution in industry and technology will result. In every man there is such a wonderful system of production that occurs every minute.

 

The second system determines the amount of production of thyroxine. Increasing amounts of thyroxine affects cells of the hypothalamus. These cells reduce the production of TRH, and thus the amount of TSH secreted by the pituitary gland is reduced. In this way, the production of thyroxine is slowed.

1. The first computer sends a production order on computer B.
2. Computer B is the second course, she translates and sends it to computer C.
3. The third computer C starts the device by using a robot mounted on it.

 

 

When too much time has arisen, one of these machines goes to computer B, and cuts its link with the computer A. Accordingly, the computer can not issue the command output. This situation lasts until stocks are exhausted.

In this example, the factory, it is useful to consider the other system. Effect of thyroxine on the hypothalamus and reduce the production of TSH can be compared to machines produced in our factory imagination, which slow the flow of information on this computer. Not only for communication between computer A and B, the computer is in pieces, but the computer is slow, and thus prevent the sending of commands to the computer B.

 

If the amount of thyroxine in the blood is reduced, the system works in the opposite direction. Other commands are sent from the computer and the possibility of computer B to receive these commands is increased. Accordingly, the hypothalamus secretes more hormones TRH, the pituitary gland becomes more sensitive to TRH, and increases the production of the hormone TSH. In this way, more thyroxine is produced and secreted.

 

How do you know that the hormone thyroxine command structure must be broken in order to stop its production? Since the cells of the hypothalamus know when thyroxine levels are high, the release must be stopped and if it is low, its secretion should be increased? How to improve the current system?

 

Think that is carefully planned system came to be by time, chance and natural law is more outside the sphere of thought of her to think that your computer or television can be formed by a similar process . For this system to function, hundreds of specially designed molecular structures of the companies (which are not described in detail) are mandatory. It is clear that this system has been created by a supreme intelligence.

 

Four in ten thousand molecules

 

The amount of thyroxine secreted is determined by the incredible system we have described above. But with all this, there is another system that maintains a remarkable level of thyroxine in the blood at a constant level during the crisis.

 

Thyroxine molecules are secreted by the thyroid gland in the blood and quickly became attached to particles specially designed to be transported in the blood. When you are attached to this molecule, can not perform their duties. With a thousand molecules of thyroxine, a bit of movement in the blood. It is only about four in ten thousand molecules of thyroxine, which affects the rate of metabolism in cells.

 

After the free thyroxine molecules into target cells, other molecules of thyroxine that the posting of transport molecules in their place. carrier molecules serve as storage tank to ensure that sufficient thyroxine is ready, if necessary.

 

We have seen how delicate the balance amount of thyroxine must affect the cell is regulated and the health problems that can occur when the amount increases or decreases of thyroxine. This involves a delicate balance between the four parties of ten thousand without thyroxine binding molecules. Therefore, these questions must be asked:

 

Who has trillions of molecules, and decided that only about four in ten thousand are needed for human health? Who has calculated that 9996 molecules for every ten thousand molecules must stand by? Who supplies that will reduce the number of these four molecules per ten thousand molecules of homelessness in the veins, and releases more molecules? Who created this amazing mathematical calculations and created the system that exists in every person ever born?

Know Your Fight or Flight Mechanism

 

                                                               figure via oliciouslife

 

Fight or flight mechanism takes over when we are dealing with a situation where we feel threatened or overwhelmed. It is built for us! When you see a bear while camping in the woods, escape, or run like a banshee security. The symptoms of fight or flight is caused by the sympathetic nervous system.

 

There are two parts of our nervous system:

1. a beautiful piece is part of our nervous system, which allows us to run or fight.
2. parasympathetic nervous system calms us.

We need both of these two parts of the nervous system to normal functioning in life. If the sympathetic nervous system works Amok, it can give us ulcers and panic attacks. When the sympathetic nervous system parasympathetic nervous system is paramount, as it's known as a nice ride. But what most people do not know what and most doctors do not know that this response can be initiated by the imbalance in the head or skull and imbalance compensation of the first vertebra or atlas. Even craniosacral therapists know about it. It is very new, but very deep! More potential patients and physicians learn more about what this knowledge will emerge.

 

Some physical symptoms of upper cervical transfer are:

1. Pain in the upper part of the cervix.
2. Traffic fell in the upper neck of the uterus, usually turning right or left.
3. A feeling of fullness in the ear or ears.
4. Dizziness
5. Swelling around the ears, the occipital region, or swelling around the bone of the skull around the ear.
6. Swelling and flaccidity of the occipital / atlas to join the parietal lobes, (although more common in the parietal region), both left and right.
7. Headache, like a burning sensation.
8. Pain in the right eye or left (but more common in the right eye, where the sun enters the orbit of the artery in the eyebrow, located within in the eyebrows).
9. Remote disc pain in another area in the back, for example, if you press the tumor to the Atlas Mountains, bursting pain in the C5 or any other downstream area of the occipital / atlas of the region, area does not feel the performance record of the spinal cord in a more distal site. (Please note that this is the whole system hydraulic pressure on one point put pressure on another place, because the nature of fluid motion and flow.
10. Temporal pain and swelling of the jaw joints.
11. Pain in the temples, both left and right.
12. Sinus pressure and pain in the entire skull.

 

Above are just some of the symptoms may be more physical, but the body's response to the pressure on institutions Dura-magnum in the field foreman, or craniosacral shift.

 

Symptoms of excessive sympathetic drive:

1. Dizziness
2. Stomach
3. Anxiety
4. Insomnia
5. Irritability
6. Light sensitivity
7. Unable to concentrate
8. Depression
9. Muscle spasms
10. Rapid heart
11. Irregular heartbeat
12. Burning  in the head and shoulders felt on the skin.
13. Panic attacks
14. It is difficult to take a deep breath.

In principle, all the above symptoms are due to the fact that when the configuration of shear occurs in the Atlas / area of the skull, cranial sacral pump is not working properly. If the pump does not work properly, it makes the fight or flight to "wake up". This fight or flight is the defense mechanism of the body. Nice torque system generally works with the sympathetic nervous system. By working together we have the healthy function of relaxation and alertness. We manufacture in our time, because I sleep well at night and have a normal response to stress of the day.

 

If we are unable to replace a beautiful, our minds have become volatile, and we over react to even small stresses during the day. When they are alone and when he is calm, the anxiety and fear may begin to worry. Many people feel the symptoms of sympathy and replace the feeling of taking drugs to get to each day, and another medication to sleep at night. I would say it is better to go to the root of the problem. So you can see above from the transfer of cervical symptoms, neck pain, it is only a small part of the image. The correction of this change can be either the life or lives of others, according to the doctor.

Adrenaline Benefits

                                                              figure via adrenalfatigue

No bigger than a walnut and weighing less than a grape, each of the two adrenal glands sits like a pyramid, above the kidney ("ad" "renal" means "above", "kidney" ). But do not be fooled by their size, these powerful little endocrine glands manufacture and release of steroid hormones such as cortisol, estrogen and testosterone, which are essential to life, health and vitality. They affect the functioning of all tissues, organs and glands of the body to maintain homeostasis during stress and survive. They also have a significant impact on how they think and feel.

The main purpose of your adrenals is to enable the body cope with stress from all possible sources of injury and illness, work and relationship problems. They largely determine the energy of the body to respond to any changes in the internal and external environment. Is the attack signal, retirement or transfer, each cell responds accordingly, and feel the results. It is by the adrenal hormones that the body is able to mobilize their resources to fight or flee from danger (stress) and survive. The most primitive society, it would be able to quickly flee, fight or pursue the enemy or game, to endure long periods of physical challenge and poverty, and write to physical reserves when they are available. In modern society, the same reactions are caused by such circumstances, difficult boss, air pollution, family quarrels, financial problems, too little sleep (see Conditions of health - sleep disturbance) diseases * (see health conditions - chronic) * abuse or sensitivity to foods (see health conditions - allergies) * or drugs (see Health Conditions - Alcoholism and Addiction) .* If the adrenal is low, as is adrenal fatigue, the body has trouble responding to an adequate adaptation to these stresses .* This can lead to various problems of physical and mental, which are themselves an additional source of stress .*

It also works to keep the adrenal glands in response to stress balance, so they are appropriate and safe. For example, the protective effect of anti-inflammatory hormones and anti-adrenals such as cortisol helps to minimize negative reactions and allergic reactions (such as swelling and inflammation) to alcohol, drugs, food the environmental allergens, cancer, infections and autoimmune diseases. These hormones closely affect the utilization of carbohydrates and fats, processed fats and proteins into energy, the distribution of stored fat regulation (especially around the waist and side of face), normal blood sugar in the blood and the proper functioning of the digestive and circulatory system. Since mid-life (menopause in women), the adrenal glands gradually become the main source of sex hormones circulating in the body in men and women. These hormones themselves a lot of physical, emotional and psychological level of sex drive tend to gain weight. Every athlete knows that steroids (adrenal hormones) affect muscular strength and endurance.

Even the propensity to develop certain diseases and the ability to respond to chronic diseases affecting the adrenal glands .* significantly more chronic diseases becomes more critical the adrenal response. Can not live without your adrenal hormones, and as you can see in this brief review of well-being depends very much on how the functioning of the adrenal glands.

Diabetes Mellitus and Type

What is diabetes?

Diabetes, mostly hormonal disorders (hormone) system occurs when the levels of sugar in the blood in your body to remain consistently above normal. Affects over 17 million people in the United States alone. Diseases caused or too little insulin in the body (type 1 diabetes) or the body does not respond to insulin (diabetes type 2). Insulin is a hormone that regulates sugar levels in the blood and helps the body use sugar (glucose) for energy.

Type 1 diabetes - the most common form of diabetes among people aged 20 years - due to a deficiency of insulin. Type 2 diabetes is the result of the body's inability to deal effectively with hormones. Approximately 90% of all people with type 2 diabetes. In the past, one type was called insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) or juvenile diabetes, age and type 2 diabetes, formerly called non-insulin diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult diabetes mellitus or stable.

These terms have been abandoned elderly due to type 2 diabetes is now also in children. In addition, some people with type 2 diabetes need insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal.Regardless this type of diabetes you have, you need to work closely with your doctor to manage your diet medicines and daily activity. Ability to supervise their care will make a huge difference to whether you can check its status and to avoid potentially serious consequences.

Many complications in the short and long-term diabetes may require as much attention as the disease itself. And just as important as watching blood sugar, you should monitor your blood sugar in the blood every day to prevent hypoglycemia, a low attack, where blood glucose is too low to meet the energy needs of your body . Hypoglycemia can be easily removed, but after recognizing the symptoms.

In people with type 1 diabetes, a lack of insulin can cause serious illness called ketoacidosis, in which acid builds up in the blood of the accumulation of toxic byproducts called ketones. Ketones are produced in the body breaks down fat for energy. Ketoacidosis occurs in people with type 1 diabetes, if you do not receive enough extra insulin and their bodies are deprived of energy sources. Ketoacidosis may also occur if the body is subjected to a sudden physical effort, perhaps as a result of accident or illness. (Each type of illness in the body increases the demand for insulin to convert blood sugar into energy needed to fight disease or infection.) Ketoacidosis may also occur in people with type 2 diabetes, although it is less popular.

If you have type 1 diabetes, particularly attentive to the symptoms of ketoacidosis include nausea, excessive thirst, frequent urination, extreme fatigue, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, and deep, loss of appetite, flushed skin and heat, headache, drowsiness, anxiety, fruity breath, and ketones in the urine. This is an emergency and you must go to the doctor or hospital. Lack of insulin injections and salt solutions intravenously (to compensate for the loss of fluid in the body) can lead to coma and death.

In both types of diabetes, long-term complications of diabetes can damage the eyes, nervous system, kidneys, heart and circulatory system. Job cuts and wounds heal more slowly for people with diabetes, and they are also prone to gum problems, urinary tract infections and infections of the mouth as thrush, caused by excessive growth of organisms yeast. All these complications are more common in people who are unable to get their blood sugar under control.

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States within 10 years, their condition is diagnosed, about half of all people with type 1 diabetes development disorder called diabetic retinopathy eye, which can weaken the capillaries that nourish the retina and ultimately affect vision. Almost all of those who had the disease for at least 30 years of experience in some degree of diabetic retinopathy. But staying on top of sugar in the blood may help delay or prevent the development of retinopathy. Other common problems of people with diabetes, impaired vision, cataract, glaucoma.

Diabetics face a higher than usual for heart disease and circulatory system, such as high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, heart attack and stroke. Poor circulation also increases the risk of skin lesions, spasms, and gangrene (tissue destruction infection). Damage to blood vessels in the kidneys of diabetes can lead to kidney failure.

The number of people with diabetes have a condition known as diabetic neuropathy, which causes damage to one or more nerves. The condition appears to begin in two types of diabetes and affects the nerves that control muscle function at a time and feeling. Consequently, people with diabetes often have various aches and pains. Slowdown in the development of some reflexes, loss of sensation, numbness and tingling in the legs, impotence and circulatory problems.

Risk of Diabetes Drugs

Some measures to counter that are safe for people who have diabetes do not contain ingredients that can cause problems for those who do not. For example, aspirin taken in large amounts can affect the levels of sugar in the blood. If you are diabetic, you must be careful when using phenylephrine, adrenaline or ephedrine, which can increase levels of sugar in the blood. Type 2 diabetes temptation to use appetite for weight control need to know that these drugs usually contain caffeine, which increases blood sugar. fish oil and niacin, both widely regarded as a way to improve cholesterol levels, also raise blood sugar in the blood. To learn more about the hidden dangers of drugs without a prescription, ask your doctor and pharmacist labels and read carefully.

What are the causes?

In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas secretes little or no insulin. You can not use glucose, the body tries to generate energy by burning fat and muscle. Type 1 diabetes usually develops before age 20.

  

Type 2 diabetes usually develops in people over 40 years and more likely to overweight people. Although this group of patients is sufficient and even excessive amounts of insulin in their systems, their bodies are unable to effectively use the hormone - called insulin resistance. Excessive intake of food increases the levels of sugar in the blood and the pancreas can not produce enough insulin to convert sugar into energy. Sometimes a similar form of the disease, called gestational diabetes, appears to be a temporary condition in pregnant women.

Risk factors for type 1 diabetes are:

• Family history of type 1 diabetes
• Eastern white
• The islet cell antibodies in the blood

Risk factors for type 2 diabetes are:

• Overweight
• family history of diabetes
• It is of Spanish, African American, Native American or Asian
• It is more than 40 years
• Impaired glucose tolerance - a pre-diabetic condition in which blood sugar is too high after eating
• Hypertension
• Abnormal blood cholesterol
• Heavy alcohol
• Smoking
• History of gestational diabetes
• Women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Diabetes Mellitus Population Suffering Developed and Developing Countries

Diabetes Mellitus Population Suffering developed and developing countries

Diabetes mellitus a lot happening in the world both in developed countries or recently also occurred in many developing countries. If not uncommon to continually develop this disease can lead to kidney failure resulting in dialysis patients should do and it can spend no small amount of money spent in addition to time wasted to do the dialysis. at least we need to know about this disease because it can so we can experience or suffer from this disease. actual diabetes mellitus is a chronic state of hyperglycemia is accompanied by various metabolic disorders caused by hormonal disorders that cause a variety of chronic complications in the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels accompanied by the existence of lesions in the basal membrane in the electron microscope examination.

Etiology

Actually diabetes mellitus were divided into 2 (two), namely because Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus diabetes mellitus (IDDM) because of the islets β cell destruction caused by autoimmune processes, and Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) because of the relative failure of β cells and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a decline in the ability of insulin to stimulate the intake of glucose by peripheral tissue and to inhibit the production of glucose by the liver. Tues β can not compensate for this insulin resistance, which means that will occur relative insulin deficiency. This inability can be seen from reduced secretion of insulin in the stimulation of glucose and on glucose stimulation of insulin secretion together with other stimulant ingredients. Mean pancreatic β cells experiencing desensitization of glucose.

Clinical Manifestations

Very easy if we want to know the signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus because of the situation is very typical of each patient. These diseases are characterized by symptoms such as polifagia, polyuria, polydipsia, lethargy and weight loss. Other symptoms are tingling, itching, eyes blurred and impotence in men and pruritus vulva in women.

Examination Support

Examination filter need to be done in groups with high risk for diabetes mellitus is an old adult age group (above 40 years), high blood pressure, obesity, family history of diabetes mellitus, history of pregnancy with birth weight more than 4000 grams, history of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy and dyslipidemia. Inspection can be done by filter blood glucose checks when, fasting blood glucose level, can then be followed by the standard Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. For high-risk group assessment is negative filters, filters need to repeat the examination every year. For patients aged over 45 years without risk factors, disease inspection can be conducted every three years.

Diagnosis

Complaints and symptoms plus the typical blood glucose check results when 200 milligrams per deciliter or fasting plasma glucose greater than or equal to 126 milligrams per deciliter is enough to make a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Etiologic classification of diabetes mellitus from the American Diabetes Association (1997) are:

1. Diabetes type 1 (β cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency):

- Autoimmune

- Idiopathic

2. Diabetes type 2 (range or particularly dominant insulin resistance with relative insulin deficiency to defac accompanied by insulin resistance and insulin secretion.

Treatment

In the short term, the management of diabetes mellitus complaint aims to eliminate or symptoms. While long-term goal is to prevent complications. The objectives are carried out by normalizing levels of glucose, lipids, and insulin. To facilitate the achievement of these objectives, the project is implemented in the form of a holistic patient management and teaching activities independently. For patients aged 60 years and above the target blood glucose is higher than the (fasting of less than 150 milligrams per deciliter and after eating less than 200 milligrams per deciliter). Oral hypoglycemic drugs also we need to know. There sulfonylurea, biguanid, α glucosidase inhibitor and insulin-sensitizing agent. Sulfonylurea drugs work by stimulating the insulin release are saved, lowered the threshold of the insulin secretion and increase the insulin secretion as a result of glucose stimulation. Biguanid while lowering blood glucose levels but not below normal. Preparations for existing and secure is metformin. While the β glucosidase inhibitors are drugs that competitively inhibit α glucosidase enzymes work within the gastrointestinal tract and thus reducing the absorption of glucose and reduce hyperglycemia pascaprandial. Insulin sensitizing agent is a new class of drugs that have pharmacological effects of improving insulin sensitivity so that it can overcome the problem of insulin resistance and the various problems caused by insulin resistance without causing hypoglycemia.

Approximately 60 percent of patients with diabetes mellitus who received insulin to survive like normal people but the rest can suffer blindness, kidney failure, chronic and likely to die sooner.
