just above where the collar bones join the breastbone. The thyroid gland has two lobes on either side of the windpipe, which is joined by an island of tissue called the isthmus. The thyroid gland makes hormones that control the body’s overall energy by regulating its metabolism. Too much...
The thyroid gland in the anterior part of the neck is concerned with the production, storage, and release into the blood stream of the hormones thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine, which mediate the rate of the basal metabolism of the body. The thyroid gland also secretes another hormone, ...
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and levels of thyroid hormone can indicate whether the thyroid is underproducing or overproducing thyroid hormones. Anti-thyroid antibody levels can indicate the presence of autoimmune thyroid inflammation that can be seen with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (underactive...
It is one of our body's most prominent glands, with a length of around 5 cm and a weight of about 25 g. The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones and calcitonin, which helps regulate metabolism, growth, and electrolyte concentrations in the blood [1,2]. Thyroid disorders are the most ...
also known as endocrine glands. Hormones can be classified according to three different molecular classes based on their chemical structure: peptide hormones, which include proteins and polypeptides; steroids, which are lipid-derived hormones and amino acid-derived, namely tyrosine derived hormones [1]...
Thyroid hormones are important in regulating body energy, body temperature, the body's use of other hormones and vitamins, and the growth and maturation of body tissues. Diseases of the thyroid gland can result in either production of too much (overactive thyroid disease or hyperthyroidism), too...

The main hormones produced in your thyroid gland are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). They influence the speed at which your body processes and uses energy. This is sometimes called your metabolic rate. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) are common...
