Thyroxin, also known as T4, is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development in the body. It plays a crucial role in maintaining metabolic rate and influences how the body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Insulin, on the other hand, is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy or storage. Together, thyroxin and insulin help maintain metabolic balance and energy homeostasis in the body.

How many hormones are involved in regulating glucose?

What is difference between thyroxin and l thyroxin?
Thyroxin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism and growth in the body. L-Thyroxine is a synthetic form of thyroxin that is commonly used as a medication to treat conditions such as hypothyroidism. The difference lies in their origin, with thyroxin being produced naturally by the body and l-thyroxine being a synthetic version.
What does the thyroid function tests reveal?
It depends- if you have a healthy thyroid gland, then it just reveals healthy thyroid tissue. It can also tell if your thyroid gland is over-active or under-active, producing too much or too little thyroxin which is a condition correctable by medication. In the unlucky event of you having thyroid cancer, it will reveal the presence of malignant cells, although it should be added that if caught early enough, this is normally completely treatable. Even if the gland has to be removed, the patient can continue to live normally with regular injections of thyroxin (rather like diabetics with insulin injections).
What is the organ secreting hormone of thyroxin?
Thyroxin is secreted by the thyroid gland. It is found in either sides of the neck
