Explanation: 

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: -The thyroid hormone is well known for controlling metabolism, growth, and many other bodily functions. The thyroid gland, anterior pituitary gland, and hypothalamus comprise a self-regulatory circuit called the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.
