No, it secretes thyroxine (T4) which is later converted into the biologically active triiodothyronine (T3) which in turn affects cells metabolic rate.
Mainly thyroxine, though it also secretes triiodothyronine (better call it T3, it's easier to spell) and calcitonin.
The Thyroid Gland secretes Calcitonin.
The thyroid gland stimulates metabolism by producing hormones such as thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which regulate the body's energy production and consumption.
Thyroid Gland
The large gland adjacent to the trachea is the thyroid gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and energy levels in the body by producing hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
The thyroid gland contains hormones in a colloid. Thyroxine and triiodothyronine are stored in the colloid in the thyroid follicles before being released into the bloodstream.
When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3. This hormone helps to regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.When the thyroid gland receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine, which is commonly referred to as T3.

thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
The thyroid secretes tetraiodothyronine, along with triiodothyronine, diiodothyronine, and thyrocalcitonin.
thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
The hormone that regulates the synthesis and secretion of T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine) by the thyroid gland is thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis.
