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 gland releases triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones play an important role in regulation of your weight, energy levels, internal temperature, skin, hair, nail growth, metabolism and is an important part of the endocrine system.

Detailed explanation-3: -That prompts the thyroid to produce and secrete thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) hormones into the bloodstream. “Thyroid hormones help the body use energy, stay warm and keep vital organs like the brain, heart, muscles and others working properly and efficiently.”

Detailed explanation-4: -TRH increases the secretion of TSH, which stimulates the synthesis and secretion of T3 and T4 by the thyroid gland.

Detailed explanation-5: -The thyroid gland responds to this TSH signal by making T4 hormone. T4 hormone is a “pro-hormone, ‘’ and must be converted into T3, the active thyroid hormone.
