Explanation:
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. Depending on the metabolic status, it can induce lipolysis or lipid synthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -3.1 TH and glucose metabolism. Brain glucose metabolism may be regulated by TH at multiple levels. TH are synthesized in, and secreted by, the thyroid gland when stimulated by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary.
