Give all subparts answer otherwise leave it    1. Considering the case study given below, what is the diagnosis? A) hyperpituitarism B) Hyperthyroidism C) hypopituitarism D) hypothyroidism 2.) What is the specific cause of the diagnosis? A) autoimmune antibody stimulatio of the thyroid gland B) a TSH-producing tumor of the pituitary gland C) insufficient TRH production by the hypothalamus D) a T3-producing tumor of the pituitary gland 3) Why are TSH levels markedly decreased? A) the free T4 levels are too low to promote TSH production by the pituitary gand B) the elevated levels of anti-TSH receptor antibodies inhibit release of TSH from the thyroid gland C) markedly elevated levels of anti-thyroglobulin and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies inhibit TSH production by the thyroid gland D) increased levels of T3 provide for feedback inhibition of TSH production by the pituitary gland 4) Why would this patient exhibit the symptoms of weight loss and heat intolerance? A) the anti-TSH…

Hi, can you please help me with the following multiple choice question - Thanks!! M. is a 59-year-old postmenopausal woman. The serum T4 is 8 microg/dl (n. 6 – 12); TSH is 4 microg/dl (n. 2 – 10). Body weight – 190 pounds, and she complains of depression. Her physician prescribes a low dosage of T4 to “pep her up”. What changes would you expect to see 4 weeks after the initiation of treatment? the size of thyroid will be reduced serum TSH will decrease serum T4 will decrease the basal metabolism rate will be elevated. Biologic actions of thyroid hormones include all of the following except: stimulate protein synthesis and proteolysis increase Na-K- ATP-ase activity increase oxidative phosphorylation stimulate growth and vascularity of the thyroid gland. stimulate glycogenesis
