Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid hormone is the hormone that controls your body’s metabolism, the process in which your body transforms the food you eat into energy. The two main hormones your thyroid releases-thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3 )-collectively make up thyroid hormone.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your thyroid is an important endocrine gland that makes and releases certain hormones. Your thyroid’s main job is to control your metabolism-how your body uses energy. Sometimes, your thyroid doesn’t work properly. These conditions are common and treatable.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thyroid hormone, in the form of triiodothyronine (T3), acts by modifying gene transcription in virtually all tissues to alter rates of protein synthesis and substrate turnover [1, 2]. These actions are the net result of the presence of T3 and of multiple other factors that amplify or reduce its action (figure 1A-B).
