taking a practice exam and got this problem wrong:
"Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder in which autoantibodies are formed against thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptors on the thyroid gland. Patients with Graves’ disease present with resting heart rates of 105-120, elevated body temperature, increased appetite, weight loss, and insomnia. Which of the following hormone levels would be expected in a patient with Graves’ disease?"
a) decreased TSH, decreased Thyroxine (T3/4)
b)...
Graves Disease - confusion regarding feedback inhibition
