Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid hormone (TH) is required for normal development as well as regulating metabolism in the adult.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Thyroid: The thyroid (THY-royd) is in the front part of the lower neck. It’s shaped like a bow tie or butterfly. It makes the thyroid hormones thyroxine (thy-RAHK-sin) and triiodothyronine (try-eye-oh-doe-THY-ruh-neen). These hormones control the rate at which cells burn fuels from food to make energy.
