    T3 and T4 Synthesis

    TSH activates the thyroid gland to produce T4 and smaller amounts of T3. Most circulating T3 comes from the conversion of T4 to T3 in tissues rather than direct secretion from the thyroid. T3 is a more potent thyroid hormone than T4 and has greater biological activity though lower levels in the blood, affecting processes like metabolism, growth, and heart rate.

    T3 And T4 Synthesis

    Submitted to: Sir Muneeb


    Submitted by: Sajida Bano
    Synthesis of T3 and T4
     Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) activates the production of
    thyroxine (T4) and T3. This process is under regulation. In the
    thyroid, T4 is converted to T3. TSH is inhibited mainly by T3.
    The thyroid gland releases greater amounts of T4 than T3, so
    plasma concentrations of T4 are 40-fold higher than those of
    T3. Most of the circulating T3 is formed peripherally by
    deiodination of T4 (85%), a process that involves the removal
    of iodine from carbon 5 on the outer ring of T4. Thus, T4 acts
    as prohormone for T3.
     This thyroid hormone is similar to thyroxine but with one fewer
    iodine atoms per molecule. In addition, T3 exhibits greater
    activity and is produced in smaller quantity.
     It is the most powerful thyroid hormone, and affects almost
    every process in the body, including body temperature, growth
    , and heart rate.
