Thyroxin

Description:

Thyroxin, also known as thyroxine, is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism, growth, and development. Thyroxin is responsible for controlling the rate at which cells convert nutrients into energy and helps maintain the body's temperature, heart rate, and muscle function.

Sample sentences:

• My doctor prescribed a daily dose of thyroxin to treat my underactive thyroid.
• Without sufficient thyroxin, individuals may experience fatigue, weight gain, and sluggishness.
• High levels of thyroxin can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, increased heart rate, and weight loss.
