What is Thyroid Hormones: Production and Regulation about?
1. The thyroid gland produces two main hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism. 2. Thyroid hormones are produced from thyroglobulin, a protein made by thyroid cells and stored in follicles, which incorporates iodine transported from the blood. 3. Production of thyroid hormones is regulated by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland through thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). High thyroid hormone levels provide negative feedback to decrease TSH production.
