In the Medieval Medical School of Salerno (XII Century), there are several findings that evidence a great interest for thyroid disorders. Rogerius Salernitanus, the Salernitan surgeon and author of "Post mundi fabricam" (around 1180) was considered at that time the surgical text par excellence all over Europe. In the chapter "De bocio" of  his magnum opus he describes several pharmacological and surgical cures, some of which nowadays are reappraised quite scientifically effective. In 1656, the Thyroid (CAS NO.50809-32-0) was first identified by the anatomist Thomas Wharton whose name is also eponymised in Wharton's duct of the submandibular gland. Thyroxin was identified only in the 19th century.

 Thyroid (CAS NO.50809-32-0) controls how quickly the body burns energy, makes proteins, and it also controls how sensitive the body should be to other hormones.

An experimental teratogen. Human systemic effects by ingestion: cardiomyopathy, dyspnea, and sweating. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
