Hormones produced by thyroid gland are called as thyroid children. These thyroid hormones control metabolism and protein synthesis in the body. Thyroid hormones affect many activities of the metabolic process in the body including how fast you burn calories, rate of heart beat, growth and development. Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are the two hormones developed by thyroid gland using iodine from the food we eat. These two thyroid hormones are controlled by two glands in the brain named hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. Dysfunction of thyroid gland is treated as thyroid disorder. Thyroid disorder mainly involves abnormal production of hormones or thyroid hormones. Thyroid disorders affect all age groups including children. Both men and women get affected by thyroid disorders.
