Hormone that regulates metabolism and body temperature. Produced in the thyroid gland. Thyroxine activates nuclear transcriptions of genes to synthesize enzymes, proteins and other substances.

Just like any other substance in the body, too much or too little of Thyroxine can lead to diseases and conditions such as goitre.

Blood glucose levels need to be maintained within its limits (70 - 130mg/dl). This is so the blood has a good osmotic balance and for the brain to get its ample amount of glucose.

When Blood Glucose Levels are higher than normal, then Insulin is secreted. This decreases blood glucose levels.

When Blood Glucose Levels are lower than normal, then Glucagon is secreted. This increases blood glucose levels.
