  1. 2. A type of nuclear medicine image also known as RAIU
  2. 3. C10H15NO3
  3. 4. The testing of this can be useful in identifying pateints with Hashimoto's and Graves' Disease
  4. 6. A hormone, which is necessary for implementation of the fertizlized egg in the uterus and for maintaining pregnancy
  5. 8. Tests, which are commonly ordered to diagnose the and monitor people with chronic kidney disease or who are on dialysis
  6. 9. Antibodies that tell the thyroid gland to swell and release excess amounts of thyroid hormone into the blood.
  7. 11. An antibody of the hormone produced by the parathyroid gland resposible for the regulation of calcium and phosphorus concentrations in extracellular fluid
  8. 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
  9. 15. A substance produced by the pancreas that is converted into the hormone that regulates the amount of glucose in the blood
  10. 16. An enzyme, which synthesizes GABA for neurotransmission
  11. 17. A hormone produced by the syncytiotrophoblast
  12. 18. An enzyme secreted by and stored in the kidneys that promotes the production of the protein angiotensin
  13. 19. A master hormone that is secreted by the adipose tissue, which controls hunger and feelings of satiety
  14. 20. The steroid hormone produced by the human body cyclically about every twenty four hours
  15. 24. An autoantigen of type I diabetes, which is an intrinsic membrane protein of neurosecretory granules
  16. 25. Detects mutations in the coding sequences of the VHL, RET and SDHB genes
  17. 30. Anti-bodies commonly associated with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Graves' Disease
  18. 31. A hormone made by the pituitary gland, which regulates thyroid hormone production
  19. 35. A steroid hormone used by the body to make testosterone and estrogen
  20. 37. C19H28O5S
  21. 38. C18H24O3
  22. 39. A type of antibody that indicates the body's immune system has attacked the thyroid tissue in the past
  23. 40. A a compound present in blood platelets and serum that constricts the blood vessels and acts as a neurotransmitter
Down
  1. 1. Tested with creatinine to determine the health of kidneys and adrenal glands
  2. 5. A seven transmembrane G protein coupled receptor that is involved in thyroid hormone signalling
  3. 7. A group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc
  4. 9. These can rise when certain autoimmune conditions affect the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck
  5. 10. Plays an important role in growth control, stimulating liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1
  6. 12. Used to bind Tg
  7. 13. A peptide hormone produced by alpha cells of the pancreas, which raises the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream
  8. 21. These are tested during investigations of adrenal insufficiency and autoimmune adrenal failure
  9. 22. A minor component of the oxygen-carrying pigment to which glucose is bound
  10. 23. Utilized for detection, quantization and affinity isolation and purification of estradiol in biofluid
  11. 26. A subset of high blood pressure caused by hormone imbalance, most frequently involving the pituitary or adrenal gland
  12. 27. A chemical waste product in the blood that passes through the kidneys to be filtered and eliminated in urine
  13. 28. A steroid hormone whose job is to regulate salt and water in the body
  14. 29. The testing of this helps predict the future development of type I diabetes in asymptomatic children, adolescents, and young adults
  15. 32. Useful for determining diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, as well as a current or future need for insulin therapy in patients with diabetes
  16. 33. The unbound, physiologically active form of the main glucocorticoid
  17. 34. A combination of the hormones that help the body respond to stress or fright and prepare the body for "fight-or-flight" reactions
  18. 36. Also known as bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein (BGLAP) and is a noncollagenous protein found in bone and dentin
