| Loss of pituitary functions: ceasing of menstrual periods, infertility, fatigue, and intolerance to stress/infection. | |

| Too much salt and water are lost in the urine, genital anamolies | |
| The fatty covering (myelin sheath) on nerve fibers in the brain is lost, and the adrenal gland degenerates, leading to progressive neurological disability and death. | |
| Hypokalemia, increased blood pH (alkalosis), hypertension | |
| Obesity, increased fat in the neck and shoulder area, and thin fragile skin that bruises easily and heals slowly. | |
| The body’s pancreas does not produce enough insulin | |

| | Symptoms | Disorder | Associated Hormone(s) |
| Osteoporosis, osteomalacia, kidney stones | |
| Spasms, tetany, seizures | |
| Menstrual cramps severe enough to prevent participation in normal activities | |
| Predispose people to develop benign tumors of the endocrine glands | |
| Bone loss and weakness | |
| If untreated may lead to infertility, excessive hair growth, acne, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, abnormal bleeding from the uterus, and cancer. | |
| Caused by lack of iodine in diet | |
| Autoantibody 'thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin' (TSI) mimics the action of TSH on the thyroid | |
| Autoimmune attack on thyroid causes it to become swollen and unable to synthesize sufficient hormone | |
| Any condition in which the thyroid is overactive | |
| Any condition in which the thyroid is underactive | |
| Thyroid deficiency in newborns can lead to growth failure and permanent mental retardation | |
| Reduced thyroid function due to a failure to convert sufficient T4 to T3 | |
