-
answer--primary
defect
in
thyroid
gland
-
causes
include

thyroid
radiation,
iodine
deficiency,
anti-thyroid
medications,
impairment
in
thyroid
hormone
syntheisis
secondary
hypothyroidism
-
answer--
r/s
from
a
malfxn
in
pituitary
or
hypothalamus
gland
that
leads
to
a
lack
of
TSH
-
most
common

Leptin
-
answer--
produced
by
obesity
gene
-
high
levels
inhibit
appetite
by
blocking
neurons
which
increase
appetite
&
stim
neurons
which
suppress
appetite
-
low

by
liver
&

-
increased
in
obesity
-
precursor
to
angiotensin
I
-
increased
levels
increase
prod
of
angiotensin
II
which
l/d
vasoconstriction,
renal
retention
of
Na
and
H2O,
&
release
of
aldosterone
-
increased

oxidative
stress
&
insulin
resistance
which
is
associated
w/
HTN,
atherosclerosis,
DM
II,
&
ca
Ghrelin
-
answer--
prod
by
gastric
mucosa
in
response
to
hunger
&
stim
food
intake
-
causes
changes
that
increase
bdy
wt
&
bdy
fat
-
stim
rel
of
growth
hormone,

&
insulin
secretion
-
promotes
satiety,
vasodilation,
