2. Desiccated thyroid extract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiccated_thyroid_extract

   Desiccated thyroid extract is prepared from pig thyroid glands. The glands are dried (desiccated), ground to powder, combined with binder chemicals, and pressed into pills. This was a new use for parts that were previously unwanted slaughterhouse offal , and Armour and Company , the dominant American meatpacker in the 20th century, supplied the ...

3. Thyroglobulin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroglobulin

   Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a 660 kDa, dimeric glycoprotein produced by the follicular cells of the thyroid and used entirely within the thyroid gland. Tg is secreted and accumulated at hundreds of grams per litre in the extracellular compartment of the thyroid follicles, accounting for approximately half of the protein content of the thyroid gland.

4. Hypothyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism

   Desiccated thyroid extract is an animal-based thyroid gland extract, [16] most commonly from pigs. It is a combination therapy, containing forms of T 4 and T 3. [16] It also contains calcitonin (a hormone produced in the thyroid gland involved in the regulation of calcium levels), T 1 and T 2; these are not present in synthetic hormone ...

6. Thyroxine-binding globulin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroxine-binding_globulin

   Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is a globulin protein encoded by the SERPINA7 gene in humans. TBG binds thyroid hormones in circulation.It is one of three transport proteins (along with transthyretin and serum albumin) responsible for carrying the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3) in the bloodstream.

7. Organification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organification

   Organification is a biochemical process that takes place in the thyroid gland. It is the incorporation of iodine into thyroglobulin for the production of thyroid hormone, a step done after the oxidation of iodide by the enzyme thyroid peroxidase (TPO) [1] Since iodine is an inorganic compound, and is being attached to thyroglobulin, a protein, the process is termed as "organification of iodine".
