Many hormones. Thyroxine (T4), Triiodothyronine (T3), and Calcitonin are the ones that are important! For more info, read my next paragraph. If that's all ya need, then hope that helped!

T4 is involved with cell metabolism; it increases the metabolic rate of cells. T4 speeds up cells and produces heat. T3 on the other hand is associated with body temperature, growth, and heart rate. Calcitonin reduces blood calcium levels, targeting the kidneys, small intestine, and the bones.
