Depending on the metabolic status, it can induce lipolysis or lipid synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates metabolic processes essential for normal growth and development as well as regulating metabolism in the adult (28, 40, 189). It is well established that thyroid hormone status correlates with body weight and energy expenditure (80, 127, 143).
