So, thyroid hormone for the win, right? What's not to love?

所以，腺激素是最棒，对吗？还有啥理由不爱它呢。

As for fixing human hearts? Perhaps manipulating thyroid hormone levels could be a start.

那人类心脏能修复吗？也许可以从控制腺激素水平开始。

Or like you start off by explaining it, okay, hypothyroidism, okay, it's obviously where you produce less thyroid hormone.

或者你开始解释，好，腺功能减退，显然是你产生腺激素较少。

Because when they added extra thyroid hormone to zebrafish's tanks, their tiny hearts were no longer able to regenerate.

因为当他们向斑马鱼鱼缸中加入额外腺激素时，斑马鱼小心脏便不能再生了。

This results in growth of the thyroid glands and stimulates the follicular cells to produce excess thyroid hormone.

这会导致腺增生并刺激滤泡细胞，产生过量腺激素。

Another primary cause is toxic nodular goiter where one or more follicles starts generating lots of thyroid hormone.

原发病因是毒性结节性腺肿，即或多滤泡开始产生大量腺激素。

Also anytime the thyroid gets inflamed or damaged there can be a large release of preformed thyroid hormones.

腺发炎或受损，也可能大量释放预先形成腺激素。

If there's too much thyroid hormone, they both decrease their own hormone production, to stop stimulating the thyroid.

如果腺激素过多，它们都会减少自身激素分泌，停止刺激腺。

Like steroids, thyroid hormone is lipid-soluble, so it crosses the membrane of its target cell to bind inside the nucleus.

像类固醇样，腺激素是脂溶性，所以它穿过靶细胞膜与细胞核结合。

Hassen called the lab. He ordered tests to check the level of thyroid hormone in the sample. It was very high.

哈森打电话给实验室，要求化验样本中腺激素含量。结果显示腺激素含量非常高。

A medication called methimazole, for example, decreases production of thyroid hormones.

例如，种叫做巯咪唑药物会减少腺激素产生。

If it's due to a primary cause, TSH will be low, an unbound thyroid hormones will be high.

如果是原发性亢，TSH水平将会很低，未结合腺激素水平会变高。

Perhaps manipulating thyroid hormone levels could be a start.

或许操纵腺激素水平可能是开始。

That in turn reduces thyroid hormone levels in the blood, and slows down your metabolism again, before you get over-heated.

这反过来会降低血液中腺激素水平，并在你过热之前再次减慢你新陈代谢。

Rarely, in some people - usually young, often male - too much thyroid hormone can make circulating potassium levels drop and cause weakness.

腺激素过量会使循环钾含量下降，继而导致虚弱，这通常出现在年轻男性身上，但很罕见。

All of them result in too much thyroid hormone in a hyper metabolic state where cellular reactions are happening faster than normal.

其后果都是产生过多腺激素，形成高代谢态，即细胞反应比正常情况发生得更快。

And hypo- and hyperthyroidism occur when the thyroid gland makes too little or too much thyroid hormone.

当腺产生腺激素过少或过多时，就会发生腺功能减退症和腺功能亢进症。

Too much thyroid hormone causes the body to race. Too little, and it slows to a crawl. Unchecked, either state can be fatal.

腺激素过多会导致身体处于亢奋态。而腺激素过少，身体慢慢变得迟钝。如果放任不管，任何种态都可能致命。

One example, is a struma ovarii tumor which is made up of only thyroid tissue and can release thyroid hormone which leads to hyperthyroidism.

其中例子是卵巢腺肿，只由腺组织组成，并且可以分泌腺素，造成亢。

And she was losing weight even though she was eating all the time, because the thyroid hormone was no longer regulating her metabolism properly.

即使她直在吃东西，她体重也在下降，因为腺激素不再正常调节她新陈代谢。
