thyroid stimulating antibody (medicine) and debilitant (medicine)


thyroid stimulating antibody (medicine)


thyroid stimulating antibody
<endocrinology, immunology> Long acting thyroid stimulator is an autoantibody found in many cases of primary thyrotoxicosis which causes hyperplasia of the thyroid by undetermined mechanisms. Human thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin is a different antibody found in all or nearly all cases of primary thyrotoxicosis and may act by binding to the thyrotropin (TSH) receptor site, causing increased synthesis of thyroglobulin.


debilitant (medicine)


debilitant
<medicine> Diminishing the energy of organs; reducing excitement; as, a debilitant drug.
