Cub Scout and Webelos Scout resident camping is a council-organized, theme-oriented, overnight camping program. It operates for at least two nights and is conducted under trained leadership at a camp approved by the council.
1. Get your thyroid levels checked. Cold weather can increase your body's need for thyroid hormone, make you feel more hypothyroid, and may cause your TSH to rise, and Free T4 and Free T3 levels to drop. If you notice hypothyroid symptoms worsening as the weather gets colder, it's worth having your blood levels evaluated.
TSH (with a half life of about an hour) stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete the hormone thyroxine (T 4), which has only a slight effect on metabolism. T 4 is converted to triiodothyronine (T 3), which is the active hormone that stimulates metabolism.About 80% of this conversion is in the liver and other organs, and 20% in the thyroid itself. TSH is secreted throughout life but particularly reaches high levels during the periods of rapid growth and development.he hypothalamus, in the base of the brain, produces thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce TSH. Somatostatin is also produced by the hypothalamus, and has an opposite effect on the pituitary production of TSH, decreasing or inhibiting its release.
