http://www.offa.org/ofathy.html

Extractions: Autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common cause of primary hypothyroidism in dogs. The disease has variable onset, but tends to clinically manifest itself at 2 to 5 years of age. Dogs may be clinically normal for years, only to become hypothyroid at a later date. The markers for autoimmune thyroiditis, autoantibody formation (autoantibodies to thyroglobulin, T4 or T3), usually occur prior to the occurrence of clinical signs. The majority of dogs that develop autoantibodies have them by 3 to 4 years of age. Development of autoantibodies at any time in the dog's life is an indication that the dog, most likely, has the genetic form of the disease. Using today's technology only a small fraction of false positive tests occur. As a result of the variable onset of the presence of autoantibodies, periodic testing will be necessary. Dogs that are negative at 1 year of age may become positive at 6 years of age. Dogs should be tested every year or two in order to be certain they have not developed the condition. Since the majority of affected dogs will have autoantibodies by 4 years of age, annual testing for the first 4 years is recommended. After that, testing every other year should suffice. Unfortunately, a negative at any one time will not guarantee that the dog will not develop thyroiditis. The registry data can be used by breeders in determining which dogs are best for their breeding program. Knowing the status of the dog and the status of the dog's lineage, breeders and genetic counselors can decide which matings are most appropriate for reducing the incidence of autoimmune thyroiditis in the offspring.

Extractions: The TgAA panel is the newest panel in thyroid screening, , it became available in 98 although many vets were not recommending it until later, it is now part of lab full panel thyroids and the OFA evaluation, and is currently considered the best marker for Autoimmune Thyroiditus. It should be run on all breeding stock every year or two along with the other panels recommended by your vet. This test is an early indicator, often showing positive before the dog shows the low FT-4 and high TSH (or any symptoms) that have been part of diagnosis in the past and therefore useful in screening out dogs that may develop Autoimmune Thyroiditus late or after they are bred. It has already put breeders on notice about possible problems in dogs who would have been normal on pre '98 tests. There are indications that some medications, testing too close to a heat or vaccinations may cause false positives. Some articles indicate that some dogs fail in T4 conversion to T3 which is probably a different problem with another mode of inheritance, and probably less common in high incidence breeds, this is common problem in humans. More is being learned about thyroid problems and your vet is your best source of current information and changes that will continue to occur with study. Better diagnosis techniques will allow for better breeding choices.

Extractions: Return to Thyroid Home Page Primary hypothyroidism occurs when disease of the thyroid gland prevents it from producing adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. Symptoms may vary from mild to severe and from nonspecific to very specific. In general, all metabolic processes slow down. Patients are often fatigued, and may also have depression, decreased intellectual function, and, rarely, overt psychosis. Patients frequently complain of cold intolerance, dry skin, and constipation. The heart rate is often slowed, as is the relaxation phase of deep tendon reflexes. There may be high cholesterol, mild anemia, and high serum enzymes, including CPK. The T4 and Free T4 is low and the TSH is always high (usually greater than 20 mU/L) . T3 may be normal. 43 y/o patient with the chief complaint of "decreased energy." She complains of fatigue, inability to finish tasks, sleeping more, yet always being tired. She has also noticed a decreased cold tolerance, constipation, and dryness of the skin. She comments that she is always cold, even in the summer. She has a positive family history for thyroid problems, but does not know the details Return to Menu Secondary hypothyroidism is defined as the failure of the thyroid gland due to the inadequate production of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). This can occur due to primary failure of the pituitary or as the result of hypothalamic dysfunction (tertiary hypothyroidism). Pituitary failure can result from destruction by pituitary and non-pituitary tumors, head trauma, radiation, postpartum infarction (Sheehans syndrome) or unknown causes (idiopathic). Generally the symptoms of hypothyroidism are less severe than in primary hypothyroidism and are often complicated by deficiencies of other pituitary hormones, as well as the mass effects of the intracranial tumor. Patients with secondary hypothyroidism must be evaluated for pituitary tumors and other hormone deficiencies.

Fluoride: Hidden Danger In Your Drinking Water And Toothpaste / Fluoride And Flu
The High Cholesterol/thyroid Connection, and How Undiagnosed thyroid Disease May Be the Reason for Your High Cholesterol, from your About.com Guide
http://thyroid.about.com/health/thyroid/library/weekly/aa020700b.htm

Extractions: Fluoride had been used for decades as an effective anti-thyroid medication to treat hyperthyroidism and was frequently used at levels below the current "optimal" intake of 1 mg/day. This is due to the ability of fluoride to mimic the action of thyrotropin (TSH). It makes sense, then that out of the over 150 symptoms and associations of hypothyroidism , almost all are also symptoms of fluoride poisoning. Researcher and advocate Andreas Schuld has also found that excess of fluoride correlates with other thyroid-related issues such as iodine deficiency. Fluoride and iodine, both being members of the halogens group of atoms, have an antagonistic relationship. When there is excess of fluoride in the body it can interfere with the function of the thyroid gland. It is possible that iodine deficiency, which is the most common cause of brain damage and mental disability in the world, could be lessened by simply cutting back on the use of fluoride.

RxMed: Pharmaceutical Information - ELTROXIN
Product information for Glaxo Wellcome's brand of levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic hormone used in thyroid replacement therapy.
http://www.rxmed.com/b.main/b2.pharmaceutical/b2.1.monographs/CPS- Monographs/CP

Extractions: Levothyroxine is nearly totally bound to serum proteins and has an elimination half-life of 6 to 7 days in the euthyroid subject. Half-life is shortened in hyperthyroidism and prolonged in hypothyroidism and in pregnancy. Deiodination of levothyroxine (T4) to 1-triiodothyronine (T3) occurs in various tissues, particularly liver and kidney. T3 is approximately 4 times as potent as T4 on a weight basis. The mechanism of action of thyroid hormones is not completely understood. The principle effect is to increase the metabolic rate of body tissues. Thyroid hormones have both catabolic and anabolic effects, and are therefore involved in normal metabolism, growth, and development, especially the development of the CNS in infancy.

Information about Category Health Conditions and Diseases Graves Diseasethyroid Disease and the Eye Graves' disease, a condition in which the thyroid glandis hyperactive, is rarely a lifethreatening condition. The thyroid Gland.
http://www.asoprs.org/thyroid.html

Extractions: The disease can affect the thyroid gland, eyes, and skin. Unfortunately, the cause of Graves' disease is unknown. Current research, however, suggests that a defect in the immune system may be the underlying cause of the disorder. Normally, the immune system uses antibodies (protein substances that the body makes) to help protect itself against viruses, bacteria, and foreign substances (antigens) that invade the body. In Graves' disease the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, eyes, and skin of the lower legs causing the disease's symptoms. The Thyroid Gland The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located just in front and on each side of the windpipe just above the breast bone. The gland releases chemical messengers called hormones into the blood. These hormones influence body processes such as: Rate of metabolism Growth hormone secretions Normally thyroid activity is directed by the pituitary gland. In Graves' disease the thyroid is instead driven by an antibody. This antibody triggers the thyroid to become overactive and produce more hormones than the body needs. Symptoms of this overactivity, called hyperthyroidism, may include:
