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: -Local activation of thyroxine (T4), to the active form, triiodothyronine (T3), by 5′-deiodinase type 2 (D2) is a key mechanism of TH regulation of metabolism. D2 is expressed in the hypothalamus, white fat, brown adipose tissue (BAT), and skeletal muscle and is required for adaptive thermogenesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thyroid hormone (TH) is required for normal development as well as regulating metabolism in the adult.
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.
