1) Deficiency of Iodine can hamper your body’s ability to synthesize Thyroxine... The pituitary gland assumes that your THYROID GLAND is not responsive to the TSH that it supplies... so there is compensatory increase in the levels of TSH . TSH has a special property , that it increase the size of thyroid follicles ... Ergo there is a massive increase in the size of the gland. - GOITRE


2) The gross deficiency of Thyroxine itself can really slow down body’s metabolic functions ... - HYPOTHYROID CRISIS
