1. Understanding Thyroid Function A normal thyroid gland is important for the body's growth, behavior, and psychological and neurological development. The main function of the thyroid gland is to produce, store, and secrete thyroid hormones (TH), including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. TH has a role in regulating mood, brain ...

1. What is KL-6? KL-6 is recognized as a valid indicator of lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis, and is expressed on the surface of type II alveolar epithelial cells, in normal lung tissue and terminal bronchiolar epithelial cells. It is expressed in very small amounts, and is enhanced in degenerative (proliferating, regenerating, or damaged) type II alveolar epithelial cells, which is directly rel...
