The hormone known as thyroid hormone regulates your body's metabolism, or how your body turns the food you eat into energy.
Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), the two primary hormones your thyroid secretes, together make up thyroid hormone.
The thyroid gland creates hormones that control the body's metabolic rate, which affects bone growth and maintenance, heart, muscle, and digestive function.
Thyroid hormones regulate the amount of energy expended during activity to the extent that people with thyroid disorders exercise more or less.
They also have a direct impact on the basal or resting metabolic rate in humans and a permissive effect on small animals' adaptive thermogenesis.
