Explanation:

What is triiodothyronine ?

Triiodothyronine is the active form of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine. Approximately 20% of triiodothyronine is secreted into the bloodstream directly by the thyroid gland. The remaining 80% is produced from conversion of thyroxine by organs such as the liver and kidneys. Thyroid hormones play vital roles in regulating the body’s metabolic rate, heart and digestive functions, muscle control, brain development and function, and the maintenance of bones.
