Thyroxine is the hormone which is called as the calorigenic hormone. The hormone results in an increase in the uptake of oxygen by the cells.
This causes an increase in respiration and the production of ATP. The ATP is used to perform the various chemical reactions which cause increased metabolism.
There is an enhancement in the energy production processes in the cell which increases the BMR (Basal metabolic rate).
