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: -Hormones of the Thyroid The two main hormones the thyroid produces and releases are T3 (tri-iodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). A thyroid that is functioning normally produces approximately 80% T4 and about 20% T3, though T3 is the stronger of the pair.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thyroid gland produces three hormones: Triiodothyronine, also known as T3. Tetraiodothyronine, also called thyroxine or T4.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thyroxine is produced from the thyroid gland, which stimulates the metabolic rate. It controls the speed at which oxygen and food products react to release energy for the body to use. Thyroxine also plays an important role in growth and development.
Detailed explanation-5: -Thyroid hormone (TH) is required for normal development as well as regulating metabolism in the adult. The thyroid hormone receptor (TR) isoforms, and , are differentially expressed in tissues and have distinct roles in TH signaling.
