Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothyroidism is a common condition where the thyroid doesn’t create and release enough thyroid hormone into your bloodstream. This makes your metabolism slow down. Also called underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism can make you feel tired, gain weight and be unable to tolerate cold temperatures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone. This condition also is called underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypothyroidism: In primary hypothyroidism, decreased production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland causes a compensatory increase of TSH. Secondary hypothyroidism is caused by pituitary disorders causing decreased TSH release and decreased T3/T4 levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypothyroidism is a condition where your thyroid is underactive and releases too little T4 and T3 hormones into your bloodstream. This causes your metabolism to slow down too much and reduces the thyroid’s ability to make hormones.

Detailed explanation-5: -THYROID HORMONES: METABOLISM AND FUNCTIONS Thyroid hormones help your body burn fat – providing you with more energy. As a result of this effect on fat metabolism, thyroid hormones bump up your basal metabolic rate (BMR) – which means you’ll be burning off fat even when you’re not physically active.
