Thyroid Hormones

the hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine, produced by the thyroid gland in animals and man. Thyroid hormones are formed from the amino acid tyrosine and iodine; they exert diverse influences on the body. The synthesis and entry of thyroid hormones into the blood are regulated by the central nervous system.
