Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is a common clinical syndrome which results due to low levels of circulating thyroid hormones or from resistance of the body to respond appropriately to thyroid hormones. Since the main purpose of thyroid hormones is to "run the body's metabolism", people with hypothyroidism have symptoms associated with a slow metabolism.
