Thyroid issues often go undiagnosed since so many of the symptoms from low thyroid hormone can be mistaken for symptoms of other problems. Whether you have fatigue, weight gain, or full fledged hypothyroidism, it is likely you will need a thyroid supplement to help boost your natural thyroid hormone production.
Hi, this is Dr Sathya. Thanks for this question and I am very glad to help you again. Astrocytes are found only in the CNS but not found in the PNS. Please ask me if there are any further questions. Thanks for the waiting! All the best! Best regards, Dr Sathya. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Star-shaped glial cells in the CNS are collectively known as astrocytes. 'Astro' implies 'star' and 'cyte' refers to 'cell'. Hence, we get 'astrocyte': a star-shaped cell. These glial cells are responsible for a lot of important things in the central nervous system; most notably, they are part of the blood-brain barrier. Tiny little feet leave the astrocyte and help to encircle the vessels that make up the blood-brain barrier, which is a barrier that helps to prevent undesirable substances from entering the brain via blood vessels.
