Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroxine controls how much energy your body uses (the metabolic rate). It’s also involved in digestion, how your heart and muscles work, brain development and bone health. When the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroxine (called hypothyroidism), many of the body’s functions slow down.
Detailed explanation-2: -The researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden said that previous studies have attributed this to how thyroid hormone affects the metabolism within cells. The thyroid produces hormones that are able to influence how much the blood vessels dilate. In turn, this affects how much heat can escape the body.
