of the gland. This reduces the thyroids ability to make hormones. These hormones are known as thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) (Better health channel 2015). In order to evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid diseases such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, the free thyroxine (free T4) lab test is performed usually after discovering that the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is abnormal (Porth C 2014 p.1288) T4 and T3 usually circulate in the blood bound to protein and only

The adipose promoter 1.4 is responsible for driving the transcription process at low levels in the adipose cells. Cytokines class 1 and TNFα are produced locally within the cells allows the regulation of the promoter, promoter II on the other hand is regulated by cAMP and gonadotropins (Goss, 2004). The adipose cells tend to utilize all the promoters (II, 1.3 and 1.7) in instances where breast cancer is involved owing to the cancerous cells. Switch of the promoters depending with the kind of environment
