A review of 202 publications. Experimental and clinical studies have on the whole supported the common attribution of certain symptoms (as in cretinism and in myxedema), to hypofunctioning of the thyroid, but have given less support to the attribution of others (as in exophthalmic goiter) to hyperfunctioning. Many studies have been made on the relations of the thyroid to growth, to metabolism, to sex, and to learning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
