Description
T4
The thyroid hormone, thyroxine (T4) is a tyrosine-based hormone that is produced by the thyroid gland. Synthetic versions of this hormone are being researched to substitute for a lack of naturally produced thyroxine and possibly increase the rate of metabolism.
The task of thyroid hormones in the body consists of the regulation of burning fat, carbohydrates, and protein. This means thyroid hormones are responsible for the amount of metabolic turnover, which is burned in the resting state during a given period.
If, therefore, the thyroid hormone level is low, the basic turnover of fat, carbohydrate, and protein burning is also low. Thus elevated T4 levels translated to increased metabolic rate.
