What role does thyroid axis play in maintaining body temperature and metabolic rate?

What role does thyroid axis play in maintaining body temperature and metabolic rate?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Thyroid axis is involved in calorigenesis.

Thyroid hormones increases body metabolic rate by stimulation of cellular metabolism and resets the energystat.

This maintains the body temperature.

Mechanism- it may be due to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation,excess energy is released in the form of heat.

Also,they heve have marked effect on lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

They bring about- lipolysis,glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and catabolic effect on protein metabolism.

All this processes are being utilized As Energy source.
