Thyroid Hormone Regulation

Meaning

Thyroid hormone regulation is the tightly controlled physiological process that governs the synthesis, secretion, transport, and peripheral conversion of thyroid hormones, primarily T4 and T3, to maintain systemic metabolic homeostasis. This intricate control system ensures that every cell in the body receives the precise amount of active hormone necessary for energy expenditure, protein synthesis, and sensitivity to other hormones. Dysregulation in this axis profoundly impacts vitality and metabolic health.
