Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid hormones modulate energy metabolism and importantly influence growth and development. These effects are independently mediated. Thyroid calorigenesis is influenced predominantly via nuclear receptor mediated synthesis of mitochondrial respiratory assemblies and cell membrane sodium potassium ATPase.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Short term administration of large amounts of thyroxine with induction of the hyperthyroid state does not affect the in vivo GH secretory response to GH-releasing hormone in this animal.
