Thyroxine is produced by the follicular cells in the thyroid gland.
The target for thyroxine is to regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the production of thyroid hormones. Thyroxine is produced by the thyroid gland and helps to maintain normal function of organs and tissues in the body. The target level of thyroxine in the blood is typically determined through thyroid function tests.
