When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4. These hormones regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.
triiodothyronine
No. Thyroxine is also called as tetraiodothyronine. So thyroxine has four iodine atoms and triiodothyronine has three iodine atoms.
Thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH, stimulates the production of triiodothyronine and thyroxine. TSH comes from the pituitary gland.
Thyroxine and Triiodothyronine
thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
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 (tissue) produces thyroxine and triiodothyronine. When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4. These hormones regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.
Thyroxine is the hormone.It is secreted by thyroid.
When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4. These hormones regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.
thyroxine replaces T4 which is produce by the thyroid gland triilodothyronine replaces T3 also produce by the thyroid gland. the cells can turn throxine in to triilothyronine but with hypothyroidism this might not occur so needs replacement
