In general, when the thyroid hormone binds to its intranuclear receptor, it\u00a0activates the genes for increasing metabolic rate and thermogenesis.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> What are the thyroid hormones and their functions?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thyroid gland releases\u00a0triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones play an important role in regulation of your weight, energy levels, internal temperature, skin, hair, nail growth, metabolism and is an important part of the endocrine system.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> What hormones are synthesized by the thyroid gland?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thyroid is a small, bow-shaped gland that sits in the front of your neck. Your thyroid gland makes 3 thyroid hormones:\u00a0thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and calcitonin. Thyroid problems, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid, are common.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> What is the clinical importance of thyroid?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a part of your endocrine system and\u00a0controls many of your body&#8217;s important functions by producing and releasing (secreting) certain hormones. Your thyroid&#8217;s main job is to control the speed of your metabolism (metabolic rate), which is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thyroid hormones play a key role in regulating the body\u2019s
