The thyroxine hormone regulates:
A
The secretion of the adrenal cortex
B
The use of sugar by the cells (metabolism)
C
The level of calcium in the bloodstream
D
The reaction of the body to stress
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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).

Detailed explanation-2: -Thyroxine is the main hormone secreted into the bloodstream by the thyroid gland. It plays vital roles in digestion, heart and muscle function, brain development and maintenance of bones.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Exogenous thyroxine improves glucose intolerance in insulin-resistant rats. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are associated with glucose intolerance, calling into question the contribution of thyroid hormones (TH) on glucose regulation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thyroxine plays a crucial role in heart and digestive function, metabolism, brain development, bone health, and muscle control. It affects almost all of the body’s systems, which means proper thyroxine levels are vital for health.
