What does my thyroid do?

The thyroid gland produces hormones that are secreted into the blood and are carried to every tissue in the body. Thyroid hormones have important roles in growth, development, and regulation of metabolism. Many factors can influence the concentration of these hormones, and the health of the thyroid gland depends on several genetic, nutritional, and immune-related influences which can lead to either excessive or insufficient activity

 Your thyroid’s main job is to control the speed of your metabolism (metabolic rate), which is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy. All of the cells in your body need energy to function.

Your thyroid hormones affect the following bodily functions:

• How your body uses energy (metabolism).
• Heart rate.
• Breathing.
• Digestion.
• Body temperature.
• Brain development.
• Mental activity.
• Skin and bone maintenance.
• Fertility.

What other organs and glands interact with the thyroid?

Your endocrine system is an elaborate network of glands and hormones. Many glands and hormones rely on other glands and hormones to send them signals to start working. In addition, certain hormones can suppress other hormones.

Your body has a complex system for controlling the level of thyroid hormones in your body. First, your hypothalamus (a part of your brain located on the undersurface of it) secretes thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates a part of your pituitary gland to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then stimulates your thyroid follicular cells to release thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) if there are adequate levels of iodine in your body.

Your thyroid gland and its hormones affect almost every organ system of your body, including:

• Your cardiovascular system: Your thyroid helps regulate the amount of blood your heart pumps through your circulatory system (cardiac output), heart rate and strength and vigor of your heart's contraction (contractility of the heart).
• Your nervous system: When your thyroid isn’t working properly, it can cause symptoms that affect your nervous system, including numbness, tingling, pain or a sense of burning in the affected parts of your body. In addition, hypothyroidism can cause depression and hyperthyroidism can cause anxiety.
• Your digestive system: Your thyroid is involved with how food moves through your digestive system (gastrointestinal motility).
• Your reproductive system: If your thyroid isn’t working properly, it can cause irregular menstrual periods and issues with fertility.

Autoimmune (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis):

• Most common cause of hypothyroidism
• Occurs when the immune system produces antibodies that attack the thyroid gland, causing excessive damage and inflammation
• Characterized by infiltration of the thyroid by lymphocytes, gradual destruction of the gland associated with cytotoxic T cells, and production of various thyroid autoantibodies
• Individuals with other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, and rheumatoid arthritis have a higher prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disease

Central or pituitary hypothyroidism

• Occurs when the thyroid is not producing sufficient thyroid hormone
• Often influenced by environmental and nutritional factors including gastrointestinal inflammation, vitamin and mineral deficiencies or imbalances, high levels of cortisol (due to prolonged stress or oral steroid use), and/or elevated estrogen
• Surgery on the thyroid gland (to remove a goiter or nodule) and/or radioactive iodine treatment (to treat a thyroid nodule, hyperactive thyroid, throat cancer, and cancer of nearby sites) can also cause hypothyroidism
