Jostel's TSH index, the Glossary

Jostel's TSH index (TSHI or JTI), also referred to as Jostel's thyrotropin index or Thyroid Function index (TFI), is a method for estimating the thyrotropic (i.e. thyroid stimulating) function of the anterior pituitary lobe in a quantitative way.^[1]

Allostasis

Allostasis (/ˌɑːloʊˈsteɪsɪs/) is a physiological mechanism of regulation in which an organism anticipates and adjusts its energy use according to environmental demands. First proposed by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer in 1988, the concept of allostasis shifts the focus away from the body maintaining a rigid internal set-point, as in homeostasis, to the brain's ability and role to interpret environmental stress and coordinate changes in the body using neurotransmitters, hormones, and other signaling mechanisms.

See Jostel's TSH index and Allostasis

Allostatic load

Allostatic load is "the wear and tear on the body" which accumulates as an individual is exposed to repeated or chronic stress.

See Jostel's TSH index and Allostatic load

Arithmetic mean

In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean, arithmetic average, or just the mean or average (when the context is clear) is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of numbers in the collection.

See Jostel's TSH index and Arithmetic mean

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias, also known as cardiac arrhythmias, are irregularities in the heartbeat, including when it is too fast or too slow.

See Jostel's TSH index and Arrhythmia

Beta blocker

Beta blockers, also spelled β-blockers, are a class of medications that are predominantly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), and to protect the heart from a second heart attack after a first heart attack (secondary prevention).

In physical fitness, body composition refers to quantifying the different components (or "compartments") of a human body.

Body mass index

Body mass index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person.

See Jostel's TSH index and Body mass index

Endocrine disruptor

Endocrine disruptors, sometimes also referred to as hormonally active agents, endocrine disrupting chemicals, or endocrine disrupting compounds are chemicals that can interfere with endocrine (or hormonal) systems.

See Jostel's TSH index and Endocrine disruptor

Euthyroid sick syndrome

Euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) is a state of adaptation or dysregulation of thyrotropic feedback control wherein the levels of T3 and/or T4 are abnormal, but the thyroid gland does not appear to be dysfunctional.

See Jostel's TSH index and Euthyroid sick syndrome

Expert witness

An expert witness, particularly in common law countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States, is a person whose opinion by virtue of education, training, certification, skills or experience, is accepted by the judge as an expert.

See Jostel's TSH index and Expert witness

Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis

The hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis (HPT axis for short, a.k.a. thyroid homeostasis or thyrotropic feedback control) is part of the neuroendocrine system responsible for the regulation of metabolism and also responds to stress. Jostel's TSH index and hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis are thyroid homeostasis.

See Jostel's TSH index and Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism (also called underactive thyroid, low thyroid or hypothyreosis) is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones.

See Jostel's TSH index and Hypothyroidism

Levothyroxine

Levothyroxine, also known as -thyroxine, is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4).

See Jostel's TSH index and Levothyroxine

Metformin

Metformin, sold under the brand name Glucophage, among others, is the main first-line medication for the treatment of typenbsp2 diabetes, particularly in people who are overweight.

See Jostel's TSH index and Metformin

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a survey research program conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States, and to track changes over time.

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD), or simply Parkinson's, is a long-term neurodegenerative disease of mainly the central nervous system that affects both the motor and non-motor systems of the body.

Phthalates

Phthalates, or phthalate esters, are esters of phthalic acid.

Pituitary gland

The pituitary gland or hypophysis is an endocrine gland in vertebrates.

R (programming language)

R is a programming language for statistical computing and data visualization.

Standard deviation

In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation of a random variable expected about its mean.

See Jostel's TSH index and Standard deviation

Standard score

In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured.

Sum activity of peripheral deiodinases

The sum activity of peripheral deiodinases (GD, also referred to as deiodination capacity, total deiodinase activity or, if calculated from levels of thyroid hormones, as SPINA-GD) is the maximum amount of triiodothyronine produced per time-unit under conditions of substrate saturation.
