Answer:

Thyroxine

Explanation:

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in your neck.  It makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Function:

They act to increase the basal metabolic rate, affect protein synthesis, help regulate long bone growth (synergy with growth hormone) and neural maturation, and increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines (such as adrenaline) by permissiveness.

Why is iodine essential?

Iodine is an element that is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. Prevention of iodine deficiency by the introduction of iodized salt has virtually eliminated iodine deficiency and the so-called “goiter belt” in these areas.
