Detailed explanation-1: -Metabolism: thyroid hormone increases the basal metabolic rate. It increases the gene expression of Na+/K+ ATPase in different tissues leading to increased oxygen consumption, respiration rate, and body temperature.
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: -TSH, in turn, stimulates thyroid follicular cells to release thyroxine or T4 (80%), and triiodothyronine or T3 (20%).
Detailed explanation-4: -Regulating the rate at which your body uses calories (energy). Slowing down or speeding up your heart rate. Raising or lowering your body temperature. Influencing the speed at which food moves through your digestive tract. More items •15-Feb-2022
