Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, and is characterized by weight loss, an enlarged thyroid gland, heat intolerance, and overproduction of thyroid hormones such as T₃ and T₄. However, Graves' disease is not associated with elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, as the overproduction of thyroid hormones in Graves' disease is due to the autoantibodies stimulating the TSH receptor on the thyroid gland, rather than the pituitary gland. In fact, TSH levels are typically suppressed in Graves' disease.
