Specifically, the adrenal glands produce insufficient amounts of the hormone cortisol and sometimes aldosterone, too. When the body is under stress, this deficiency of cortisol can result in a life threatening Addisonian crisis characterized by low blood pressure. John F. Kennedy was affected with Addison's Disease.]]> 2018-02-22 20:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234465510 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234470432 A condition that occurs from exposure to high cortisol levels for a long time. The most common cause is the use of steroid drugs, but it can also occur from overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Signs are a fatty hump between the shoulders, a rounded face, and pink or purple stretch marks.

The thyroid overproduces hormones. The condition is more common in women under age 40.

Initially, inflammation of the thyroid causes a leak resulting in excess thyroid hormones. Over time, the inflammation prevents the thyroid from producing enough hormones. Gina Rodriguez was affected with Hashimoto Disease.]]> 2018-02-23 00:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234541738 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234542411 A serious condition that is nearly always caused by an adenoma, a tumor of the pituitary gland. Gigantism occurs in patients who had excessive growth hormone in childhood. The pituitary tumor cells secrete too much growth hormone, leading to many changes in the body. Sandy Allen was affected with Gigantism.]]> 2018-02-23 01:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234542411 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234544708 A condition in which the pituitary gland does not make enough growth hormone. Dwarfism is generally defined as an adult height of four feet 10 inches or less. Common complications include bowing of the legs, hunching of the back, and crowded teeth. Ellie Simonds was affected with Dwarfism.]]> 2018-02-23 01:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234544708 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234548062 It's caused by a hormone-secreting, noncancerous tumor on the pituitary gland. The hormone-producing gland in the brain overproduces prolactin. It also decreases the levels of some sex hormones. Tara Palmer-Tomkinson was affected with Prolactinoma.]]> 2018-02-23 01:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234548062 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234548908 A cancer of the thyroid at the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck. The cause of thyroid cancer is poorly understood. However, it was found that it may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Kim Cattrall was affected with Thyroid Cancer.]]> 2018-02-23 01:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234548908 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234553942 Abnormal enlargement of the butterfly-shaped gland below the Adam's apple. A goiter commonly develops as a result of iodine deficiency or inflammation of the thyroid gland. It can also occur in a gland that is producing too much hormones. Oprah Winfrey was affected with Goiter.]]> 2018-02-23 02:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234553942 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234555707 A condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism's deficiency of thyroid hormones can disrupt such things as heart rate, body temperature, and all aspects of metabolism. Hypothyroidism is most prevalent in older women. Sofia Vergara was affected with Hypothyroidism.]]> 2018-02-23 02:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234555707 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234556222 The overproduction of a hormone by the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck. It causes the gland to produce too much thyroxine hormone. It can also increase metabolism. Roger Ebert was affected with Hyperthyroidism.]]> 2018-02-23 02:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234556222 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234558191 A chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.

With type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin, or it resists insulin. This causes blood glucose levels to rise higher than normal. Larry King was affected with Diabetes Mellitus Type II.]]> 2018-02-23 02:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234559301 jtha0690 https://padlet.com/jtha0690/9lvugstem2hl/wish/234560430 A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.
