WHAT CAN I DO?

I increase metabolic rate by increasing the number and activity of mitochondria in cells by binding to the cells' DNA. I'm really influential, you know? I can cause an increase in the rate of carbohydrate metabolism and a rise in the rate of protein synthesis and breakdown. I am so hot, i excite the nervous system, leading to increased activity of the endocrine system. I can remain active in the body for more than a month.

I am controlled by thyrotropin, a substance released from the pituitary gland. Conversely, i regulate the effect of thyrotropin by feedback inhibition.

Some of my friends are synthetically prepared for the treatment of thyroid gland deficiency diseases in adults and in the treatment of cretinism in children.
