The thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are tyrosine-based hormones produced by the thyroid gland ... The thyroid hormones are essential to proper development and differentiation of all cells of the human body. These hormones also regulate protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, affecting how human cells use energetic compounds. 2, record 1, English, - thyroid%20hormone

Les hormones thyroïdiennes comprennent deux substances contenant toutes deux de l'iode, la thyroxine (aussi appelée tétra-iodothyronine, ou T4) et la tri-iodothyronine (ou T3) [...] Les hormones thyroïdiennes exercent une activité stimulatrice très générale sur l'organisme, en «accélérant» le fonctionnement de la plupart des tissus, et notamment en augmentant la consommation d'oxygène tissulaire. De plus, elles sont indispensables à la croissance et à la maturation du squelette et du système nerveux. 2, record 1, French, - hormone%20thyro%C3%AFdienne

Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) bind as dimers to specific DNA response elements. We have used a genetic approach to identify amino acid sequences required for dimerization of the TR beta isoform. Bacteria expressing a chimeric repressor composed of the DNA binding domain of the bacteriophage lambda cl repressor fused to the TR beta ligand binding domain are immune to lambda infection as a consequence of homodimerization activity provided by the receptor sequences. 1, record 2, English, - thyroid%20hormone%20receptor

The hypothalamus generates thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH) to energize pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH, in turn, stimulates thyroid hormonal output, which feeds back on both hypothalamus and pituitary to complete the regulatory circle. 4, record 3, English, - thyrotropin
