Endocrinology
Across
- 2. A type of nuclear medicine image also known as RAIU
- 3. C10H15NO3
- 4. The testing of this can be useful in identifying pateints with Hashimoto's and Graves' Disease
- 6. A hormone, which is necessary for implementation of the fertizlized egg in the uterus and for maintaining pregnancy
- 8. Tests, which are commonly ordered to diagnose the and monitor people with chronic kidney disease or who are on dialysis
- 9. Antibodies that tell the thyroid gland to swell and release excess amounts of thyroid hormone into the blood.
- 11. An antibody of the hormone produced by the parathyroid gland resposible for the regulation of calcium and phosphorus concentrations in extracellular fluid
- 14. Antibodies that block binding of TSH to an in vitro TSHR preparation and do not therefore differentiate between TSAb and TBAb in serum samples
- 15. A substance produced by the pancreas that is converted into the hormone that regulates the amount of glucose in the blood
- 16. An enzyme, which synthesizes GABA for neurotransmission
- 17. A hormone produced by the syncytiotrophoblast
- 18. An enzyme secreted by and stored in the kidneys that promotes the production of the protein angiotensin
- 19. A master hormone that is secreted by the adipose tissue, which controls hunger and feelings of satiety
- 20. The steroid hormone produced by the human body cyclically about every twenty four hours
- 24. An autoantigen of type I diabetes, which is an intrinsic membrane protein of neurosecretory granules
- 25. Detects mutations in the coding sequences of the VHL, RET and SDHB genes
- 30. Anti-bodies commonly associated with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Graves' Disease
- 31. A hormone made by the pituitary gland, which regulates thyroid hormone production
- 35. A steroid hormone used by the body to make testosterone and estrogen
- 37. C19H28O5S
- 38. C18H24O3
- 39. A type of antibody that indicates the body's immune system has attacked the thyroid tissue in the past
- 40. A a compound present in blood platelets and serum that constricts the blood vessels and acts as a neurotransmitter
Down
- 1. Tested with creatinine to determine the health of kidneys and adrenal glands
- 5. A seven transmembrane G protein coupled receptor that is involved in thyroid hormone signalling
- 7. A group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc
- 9. These can rise when certain autoimmune conditions affect the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck
- 10. Plays an important role in growth control, stimulating liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1
- 12. Used to bind Tg
- 13. A peptide hormone produced by alpha cells of the pancreas, which raises the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream
- 21. These are tested during investigations of adrenal insufficiency and autoimmune adrenal failure
- 22. A minor component of the oxygen-carrying pigment to which glucose is bound
- 23. Utilized for detection, quantization and affinity isolation and purification of estradiol in biofluid
- 26. A subset of high blood pressure caused by hormone imbalance, most frequently involving the pituitary or adrenal gland
- 27. A chemical waste product in the blood that passes through the kidneys to be filtered and eliminated in urine
- 28. A steroid hormone whose job is to regulate salt and water in the body
- 29. The testing of this helps predict the future development of type I diabetes in asymptomatic children, adolescents, and young adults
- 32. Useful for determining diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, as well as a current or future need for insulin therapy in patients with diabetes
- 33. The unbound, physiologically active form of the main glucocorticoid
- 34. A combination of the hormones that help the body respond to stress or fright and prepare the body for "fight-or-flight" reactions
- 36. Also known as bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein (BGLAP) and is a noncollagenous protein found in bone and dentin
