In thyrotoxic crisis, T3 and T4 are overproduced, causing hypermetabolism from the overproduction of:
dopamine.
catecholamines.
epinephrine.
norepinephrine. - ANSWER-epinephrine
In thyrotoxic crisis (also known as thyroid storm), the thyroid gland secretes the thyroid hormones
triiodothyronine (T3) and/or thyroxine (T4). When T3 and/or T4 are overproduced, systemic adrenergic
activity increases. The result is epinephrine overproduction and severe hypermetabolism, leading rapidly
to cardiac, GI, and sympathetic nervous system decompensation.

An autoimmune disorder characterized by abnormal stimulation of the thyroid gland by antibodies that
act through normal TSH receptors is:
