3. Thyroid hormones - Wikipedia

   The thyroid system of the thyroid hormones T 3 and T 4 [1] Thyroid hormones are two hormones produced and released by the thyroid gland, triiodothyronine (T 3) and thyroxine (T 4). They are tyrosine-based hormones that are primarily responsible for regulation of metabolism. T 3 and T 4 are partially composed of iodine, derived from food. [2]

   Much of the effect of levothyroxine is following its conversion to triiodothyronine (T 3). [5] Levothyroxine was first made in 1927. [8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [9] Levothyroxine is available as a generic medication. [5]

[1] Thyroxine and its active metabolites are essential for regulating metabolic rate , supporting heart and muscle function , promoting brain development , and maintaining bone health .

6. Antithyroid agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithyroid_agent

   They inhibit release of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.The most studied drug in this class is lithium, which inhibits thyroid hormone secretion by inhibiting iodotyrosine coupling, thyroidal iodide uptake, and alteration in structure of thyroglobulin, [10] a protein which acts as a substrate for the synthesis of thyroid hormones and storage of inactive forms of T3, T4 and iodine within ...

7. Thyroid-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid-stimulating_hormone

   TSH (with a half-life of about an hour) stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete the hormone thyroxine (T 4), which has only a slight effect on metabolism. T 4 is converted to triiodothyronine (T 3), which is the active hormone that stimulates metabolism. About 80% of this conversion is in the liver and other organs, and 20% in the thyroid ...
