Biochemical Tales From Our Innerverse — Thyroid Hormones — Twin Sparks Of Combustion And Cognition
<p><strong>H</strong>ello good biochem enthusiasts! Back again from the annals of the <strong>Innerverse</strong> with a stellar new tale to captivate your scientific imaginations. Today’s is about a famous sparky duo who set aflame, rev up and keep our metabolic engines cranking. Get comfy and join me!<br />
<br />
<strong>N</strong>estled near the base of our necks is a butterfly-shaped gland, a powerhouse of regulatory prowess — the <strong>Thyroid Gland</strong>. Unseen but tremendously influential, it regulates a symphony of metabolic harmony through its production of thyroid hormones<strong> Thyroxin</strong>e (<strong>T4</strong>) and <strong>tri-iodo-thyronine</strong> (<strong>T3</strong>). The thyroid hormones are another set of gems birthed by the amino acid <strong>tyrosine</strong> (which also gives rise to <strong>dopamine</strong>, discussed in the previous essay). An excursion into the nuanced world of <strong>thyroid</strong> <strong>hormones</strong> is to study and observe how the subtle notes of <strong>T4 </strong>and <strong>T3</strong> play a profound role in the wellness and vitality of our the human composition.</p>
