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.

Does thyroxine have fewer iodine atoms than triiodothyronine?
No. Thyroxine is also called as tetraiodothyronine. So thyroxine has four iodine atoms and triiodothyronine has three iodine atoms.
Which hormone stimulates the production of triiodothyronine and thyroxine?
Thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH, stimulates the production of triiodothyronine and thyroxine. TSH comes from the pituitary gland.

Thyroxine and Triiodothyronine
What hormone work with calatonin to regulate homestasis?
triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
What is the most important regulator of metabolism from the the thyroid gland?
thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
What is the most important regulator of metabolism from the thyroid gland?
thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
Does the thyroid gland secrete triiodothyronine?
No, it secretes thyroxine (T4) which is later converted into the biologically active triiodothyronine (T3) which in turn affects cells metabolic rate.
What hormone does the thyroid gland secrete?
Mainly thyroxine, though it also secretes triiodothyronine (better call it T3, it's easier to spell) and calcitonin.
What targets thyroxine?
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.
Which hormone is the basal metabolic hormone?
Thyroxine is the hormone.It is secreted by thyroid.
Thyroxine and triiodothyronine are synthesized in the thyroid gland from?
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.
