Thyroid (Over and Under Active)
"Hyperthyroidism is the term for overactive tissue within the thyroid gland, resulting in overproduction and thus an excess of circulating free thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormone functions as a stimulus to metabolism and is critical to normal function of the cell. In excess, it causes the "speeding up" of various body systems. Symptoms include fast heart beat, palpitations, nervous system tremor and anxiety symptoms, digestive system hypermotility (diarrhea), and weight loss."

"Hypothyroidism is the disease state in humans and in animals caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. In adults, symptoms include poor muscle tone (muscle hypotonia)."
