| 21. | Blood free thyroxine and TSH levels are monitored to help determine whether the dose is adequate.
|
| 22. | Our bodies need iodine to make the thyroid hormone thyroxine, which is vital for developing brains.
|
| 23. | You should avoid cabbage, as this reduces the intake of iodine and the production of thyroxine.
|
| 24. | The onset of TM requires toxic levels of the thyroxine hormone due to overproduction by the thyroid gland.
|
| 25. | Thyroxine is given to replace the hormones lost and to suppress TSH production, as TSH may stimulate recurrence.
|
| 26. | Colloidal silver may interact with some prescription medications, reducing the absorption of some antibiotics and thyroxine among others.
|
| 27. | The reduced level of transthyretin in the CSF may indicate a lower thyroxine transport in brains of patients with schizophrenia.
|
| 28. | As far as vitamins and minerals specifically interfering with thyroxine absorption, I am skeptical that they make much difference.
|
| 29. | In such cases, increased faecal thyroxine levels in thyrotoxicosis factitia may help differentiate it from other causes of hyperthyroidism.
|
| 30. | The active form of thyroxine, T 3, has been found to be a potent inhibitor at nanomolar concentrations.
