Lɛ wi lan ɔltin bɔt di tayroyd ɔmon we de kɔntrol di we aw yu bɔdi de wok!

Sɔntɛnde yu kin fil lɛk se yu bɔdi jɔs nɔ de wok fayn, ɔ yu taya bad bad wan? Ɔ sɔntɛnde yu kin fil lɛk se yu bɔdi de rɔn bifo yu maynd, ɛn yu kin rili wɔri? Wan rizin fɔ dɛn tin ya kin bi wan tin we rili smɔl, bɔt we rili impɔtant na yu bɔdi. Dat na di tayroyd ɔmon. Tide, lɛ wi tɔk bɔt wetin na dis tayroyd ɔmon, wetin i de du to wi bɔdi, ɛn us prɔblɛm dɛn kin kam wit di we aw i de chenj chenj.

Wetin na Tayrɔyd Ɔmon? Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan...

Tink bɔt yu bɔdi lɛk big mashin. di tayroyd כmon na wan ki switch we de kכntro di spid we dis mashin de wok, dat na di mεtabolik rεt . Dis ɔmon impɔtant fɔ mek smɔl pikin in bren gro.

Yu no udat mek dis ɔmon? Na smɔl gland we tan lɛk bɔtaflay ɔnda di skin we de bifo yu nɛk. Wi kin kɔl am di tayroyd gland . Na pat pan wi bɔdi in ɛndokrin sistɛm .

Ɔmon dɛn tan lɛk mɛsenja dɛn we de rɔn na wi bɔdi. Dɛn kin travul tru di blɔd ɛn tɛl difrɛn ɔgan dɛn, mɔsul dɛn, ɛn ɔda tisu dɛn wetin fɔ du ɛn ustɛm fɔ du am.

Naw wi de tɔk bɔt di mɛtabolism . Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, na di kɔmpleks prɔses we de tɔn di it we wi de it to ɛnaji. Ɛni sɛl na wi bɔdi nid ɛnaji fɔ mek i ebul fɔ wok.

fכ tru, we wi se "thyroid hormone", wi de tכk bכt tu men כmon dεm. Dɛn na tayroksin (Thyroxine - T4) ɛn triiodothyronine (Triiodothyronine - T3) . Bɔku tɛm wi kin kɔl dɛn tu ya togɛda "tayroyd ɔmon". Yu no wetin? di כmon T4 nכ de wok bכku, we min se i nכ de gεt bכku ifekt pan di sεl dεm. Bɔt di ɔmon T3 na in de wok pas ɔl. we T4 kכmכt frכm di tayroyd gland, sכm כgan dεm na wi bכdi kin kכnvכlt am to T3. Na da tɛm de nɔmɔ i go afɛkt di sɛl dɛn ɛn wi mɛtabolism.

Wan ɔda tin na dat, di tayroyd gland kin pul wan ɔmon bak we dɛn kɔl kalsitɔnin . I de kɔntrol ɛn mek di kalsiɔm lɛvɛl we de na di blɔd go dɔŋ. כltu, kalsitonin nכ de insay di nem "tayroyd כmon", εn i nכ de afekt wi bכdi in mεtabolism lεk T3 εn T4.

Aw dɛn kin kɔntrol dɛn tayroyd ɔmon dɛn ya? Na wan we we rili wɔndaful!

di prodakshכn εn sekreshכn fכ dεn T4 εn T3 כmon dεm de kכntro insay wan we we rili kכmpleks, bכt we rili fayn. Wi kɔl am fidbak lɔp sistɛm . Dis min se:

• Hypothalamus : Dis de na yu bren. I de kɔntrol tin dɛn lɛk blɔd prɛshɔn, at rit, bɔdi tɛmpracha, ɛn aw fɔ digest.
• Pituitary gland : Dis na smɔl gland bak we de ɔnda di bren, dɔŋ di haypothalamus. I tan lɛk wan pis. I de mek ɛn pul lɛk et kayn ɔmon dɛn.
• Tayroyd gland : Na di bɔtaflay we wi bin dɔn tɔk bɔt bifo tɛm.
• Sɔm ɔda ɔmon dɛn.

Imajin se dis tan lɛk we yu de wok na big kɔmni.

1. Fɔs, di haypothalamus (lɛk big manija) na di bren de pul wan ɔmon we dɛn kɔl Thyroid-Releasing Hormone (TRH) we de pul wan ɔmon we de mek di tayroyd wok .

2. dis TRH de go na di pituitary gland (lεk wan sistεnt mεnaja) εn i de tεl am fכ mek εn rilis thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) .

3. Dɔn dis TSH de go na di tayroyd gland (lɛk wokman) ɛn tɛl am fɔ mek T4 ɛn T3. כlmost 80% pan di כmon dεm we dεn mek dis we na T4, εn di כda 20% na T3. Fɔ mek dɛn T4 ɛn T3 ya, di tayroyd gland nid bak wan tin we dɛn kɔl ayodin . Wi kin gɛt am frɔm di it we wi de it.

naw dis chen fכ כmon dεm de kכntro bay wetin dεn kכl ``fidbak lכp'' . dat min se we di lεvεl dεm fכ T3 εn T4 na di bכdi inkrεs, i de go na di haypothalamus εn pituitary εn se, "Okay, inof, stכp fכ mek TRH εn TSH." we di lεvεl dεm fכ T3 εn T4 dכn, dis prכsεs de stat bak. Dis na aw wi kin kip di tayroyd ɔmon lɛvɛl na wi bɔdi na wan patikyula lɛvɛl.

Tink bɔt am lɛk di AC we de na yu os. We di rum kol, di AC kin ɔf, ɛn we di rum wam, i kin ɔn.

Bɔt if prɔblɛm de wit di haypothalamus, pituitary gland, ɔ tayroyd gland, di balans pan di ɔmon dɛn we inklud T3 ɛn T4 kin ambɔg.

Wetin di tayroyd ɔmon dɛn kin du to wi bɔdi? Ɔ, dɛn wok!

afta we T4 kכmכt na di bכdi frכm di tayroyd gland, sכm sεl dεm na wi bכdi kin kכnvכlt am to T3. dis prכsεs dεn kכl am di-ayodinεshכn (dεn de pul ayodin). dis na biכs di sεl dεm we di tayroyd כmon dεm de afekt kin yuz T3 bεtε pas T4. Na dat mek wi kin tek T4 as di inaktiv ɔmon ɛn T3 as di aktif ɔmon.

di tisu dεm, gland dεm, כgan dεm, εn sistεm dεm we kin kכnvכlt T4 to T3 na:

• Liva
• Kidni dɛn
• Mɔsul dɛn
• Tayroyd gland `(Tayroyd)`
• Pituitary gland we de na di bɔdi
• Brawn adipos tisu (dis fεt tisu de εp fכ mεnten di bכdi tεmprachכ we kol)
• Sɛntral nervɔs sistɛm

So, dεn T3 εn T4 כmon dεm ya de afekt εvri sεl εn כgan dεm na wi bכdi. Aw dɛn kin afɛkt am?

• Yu bɔdi de kɔntrol di rit we i de yuz kalori (ɛnaji). Dɛn kɔl dis yu mɛtabolik rɛt . Dis kin afɛkt if yu de lɔs ɔ yu de gɛt mɔ wet. Sɔm pipul dɛn se ilɛk ɔmɔs dɛn it, dɛn nɔ de gɛt mɔ wet, ɛn ɔda wan dɛn se dɛn kin gɛt mɔ wet ivin we dɛn it smɔl. Dis kin bi wan rizin.
• Yu at rit de slo ɛn i de go ɔp.
• I de mek di bɔdi in tɛmpracha go dɔŋ ɛn mek i go ɔp. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin jɔs fil kol, ɔda wan dɛn kin jɔs fil lɛk se dɛn de swet.
• I de afɛkt di spid we di it de muv tru di dijestiv sistɛm.
• i de afekt di bren divεlכpmεnt (especially in pikin).
• I de kɔntrol aw di mɔsul dɛn kin kɔntrakt.
• I de mek di skin ɛn bon dɛn kɔntinyu fɔ de. dat min se i de kכntro di rεt we nyu sεl dεm de prodyuz fכ tek di sεl dεm we dεn day (dis na nכmal tin).

Us tɛst dɛn kin du fɔ chɛk di tayroyd lɛvɛl?

Bɔku blɔd tɛst dɛn de we dɛn kin du fɔ chɛk yu tayroyd lɛvɛl ɛn si if yu tayroyd gland de wok fayn. Dɛn kin kɔl dɛn tin ya tɛst fɔ no aw di tayroyd de wok . Di men wan dɛn na:

• Total T4 tɛst `(Tɔtal T4 tɛst)`
• Fri T4 (FT4) tɛst
• Total T3 tɛst `(Tɔtal T3 tɛst)`
• Fri T3 (Ft3) tɛst
• Tayroyd stimulat ɔmon tɛst `(TSH tɛst)`

Yu dɔktɔ kin ɔda ɔda tɛst dɛn bak, fɔ ɛgzampul:

• Tayroyd antibodi dεm : dεn ya de εp fכ no difrεn כtoimyun tayroyd kכndishכn dεm.
• Thyroglobulin : Dɛn kin yuz dis tɛst fɔ no if yu gɛt tayroyd ɛn fɔ wach aw yu de trit yu tayroyd kansa.

Us sik dɛn kin apin if di tayroyd ɔmon nɔ de wok fayn?

Bɔku tin dɛn de we kin apin bikɔs ɔf, ɔ kin mek di tayroyd ɔmon dɛn we nɔ de wok fayn. Tayrɔyd sik kin rili bɔku. Dɛn se uman dɛn kin gɛt tayroyd sik fayv to et tɛm pas man dɛn .

Di men tin dɛn we kin apin to pɔsin we gɛt tayroyd na:

• Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) : Dis na we di bɔdi nɔ de mek inof tayroyd ɔmon. Ɔltin na di bɔdi kin bigin fɔ wok sloslo.
• Hashimoto in sik : Dis na ɔtoimyun kɔndishɔn. Dis min se wi bɔdi in yon imyun sistɛm de atak di tayroyd gland. Dis kin mek pɔsin gɛt haypotayroyd.
• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) : Dis na we di tayroyd gland de mek tumɔs tayroyd ɔmon, we de mek ɔltin na di bɔdi wok tumɔs fast.
• Graves’ disease : Dis na ɔtoimyun kɔndishɔn bak we kin mek yu gɛt haypa tayroyd.
• Tayroydititis (inflameshɔn/swel na di tayroyd gland) .
• Tayrɔyd nodul dɛn .
• Goiter (we di tayroyd gland big/we de swel na di nεk).
• Tayrɔyd kansa .

Yu mɛmba we wi bin de tɔk bɔt di haypothalamus ɛn di pituitary gland? Prɔblɛm wit dɛn gland dɛn de kin mek bak di tayroyd ɔmon lɛvɛl chenj, bikɔs dɛn kin ɛp fɔ rigul di tayroyd ɔmon dɛn.

Ustɛm a fɔ go to dɔktɔ bɔt di ɔmon dɛn we de na di tayroyd?

Bɔrku tɛm, we di tayroyd ɔmon lɛvɛl nɔr nɔr fayn, i kin sho insɛf pan sɔm sayn dɛm wae wi kin gɛt. Di tayroyd ɔmon dɛn de kɔntrol di spid we wi bɔdi de mek di bɔdi wok. So, if di tayroyd ɔmon dɛn go ɔp, di spid go go ɔp pas aw i fɔ bi, ɛn if dɛn go dɔŋ , di spid go go dɔŋ. Dɛn nɔr balans ya kin mek yu gɛt sɔm kayn sik lɛk:
