Grave’s disease is an autoimmune disease that is a result of hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism indicates that the body is producing too much Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). The binding of TSH to TSHR results in the receptor remaining in its active conformation. This is important as the thyroid gland controls metabolism in the body and overstimulation can lead to many side effects. This is including but not limited to: eye and skin problems, weight loss, fatigue, muscle weakness, trouble tolerating heat/ profuse sweating, enlarged thyroid glands (goiter). This disease effects 1 in 100 Americans and especially women or people older than 30 years of age.
