John F Kennedy, a former United States President had Addison's disease. Medicine like hydrocortisone (to relace cortisol) and Fludrocortisone acetate (to replace aldosterone). are prescribed to treat this disease. Addison's disease is a condition that affects your body's adrenal glands. These glands are located on top of your kidneys.]]> 2021-11-01 19:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/k1639506/99kkoqwfh8mrp3ng/wish/1859644705 k1639506 https://padlet.com/k1639506/99kkoqwfh8mrp3ng/wish/1859668371 A condition resulting from the hyper-secretion of cortisol; may be caused by a tumor or prolonged use of steroids. Cushing's syndrome is characterized by weakness; thin, easily bruised skin; hypertension; and weight gain. King Henry VIII had this disease. This disease affects the pituitary gland so it releases too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ]]> 2021-11-01 19:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/k1639506/99kkoqwfh8mrp3ng/wish/1859668371 k1639506 https://padlet.com/k1639506/99kkoqwfh8mrp3ng/wish/1859679581 Autoimmune condition that results in hyperthyroidism; characterized by bulging eyeballs and an enlarged thyroid gland. Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara Bush both were diagnosed with Graves' disease while he was in office. A treatment for this disease is removing art or all of the thyroid disease. Some people also try yoga or meditation to reduce this condition.  ]]> 2021-11-01 19:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/k1639506/99kkoqwfh8mrp3ng/wish/1859679581 k1639506 https://padlet.com/k1639506/99kkoqwfh8mrp3ng/wish/1859691710
Hashimoto disease is a chronic autoimmune form of thyroiditis; results in hyposecretion of thyroid hormones. Treatment for Hashimoto's disease may include observation and the use of medications. Gina Rodriguez has hachitmo's diease. This condition attacks the immune system.

Dwarfism has many causes, one of which is endocrine dysfunction resulting from a lack of GH. Kenny Baker had dwarfism.

It is also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Larry King has type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is an impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) as a fuel.
