Hormone-producing cells typically have higher metabolic activity than skin cells, so they require more ribosomes to produce the necessary proteins for hormone synthesis. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in cells, and an increased number of ribosomes allows for more efficient production of the proteins needed for hormone secretion.
The hormone whose production is inadequate in myxedema is thyroid hormone, specifically thyroxine (T4). Myxedema is a severe form of hypothyroidism, which occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.
