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.
