Title: Thyroid hormone secretion decreases with age. Treatment with thyroid-releasing h Post by: ppk on Jun 19, 2011 Thyroid hormone secretion decreases with age.

What name is given to the condition of decreased thyroid hormone secretion? What related hormones are likely to decrease as well? Propose an explanation for the loss of responsiveness to the releasing hormone. Propose an explanation for the increased responsiveness to treatment with thyroid hormone (consider both how hormones affect target cells and how hormone action is halted).
