Thyroid hormone affects many body processes including metabolism, growth and development. It increases the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates, promotes protein synthesis, and raises the basal metabolic rate. Thyroid hormone also increases heart rate and cardiac output, stimulates oxygen consumption, and boosts the absorption of nutrients and secretion of digestive juices.
