thyroid hormone
Neck gland secretion
Thyroid hormone refers to the hormones produced by the thyroid gland, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism, growth, and development throughout the body.
These hormones control how quickly cells convert nutrients into energy, affecting heart rate, body temperature, and weight.
Thyroid hormone levels that are too high or too low can cause significant health problems.
Her doctor ordered blood tests to check her thyroid hormone levels.
