  THYROID GLAND: WHAT IS IT?   The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland in the lower front of the neck . The thyroid's duty is to produce thyroid hormones, which are then secreted into the bloodstream and delivered to all of the body's tissues. Thyroid hormones aid in the efficient use of energy, the maintenance of body temperature, and the proper functioning of the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs.     WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE THYROID GLAND?   Thyroxine, usually known as T4 because it contains four iodine atoms, is the most important thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. T4 is transformed to triiodothyronine (T3) by removing an iodine atom in order to exercise its effects. This occurs mostly in the liver and some T3-acting tissues, such as the brain. Another hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, secreted in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, regulates the quantity of T4 produced by the thyroid gland (abbreviated TSH)...

Total Thyroid Profile Test Price   Thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) tests are a series of blood tests that determine the amounts of thyroid hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. Thyroid function testing is another name for it. Thyroid hormones, such as triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine, are produced by the thyroid gland, which is located in the front portion of the neck (T4). Thyroid hormone secretion is controlled by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Thyroid hormones are involved in a variety of bodily functions, including metabolism, energy production, and mood. Thyroid profile testing covers TSH, T3, and T4 levels. The tests are used to distinguish between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and euthyroid. Why should you get a thyroid profile test? Among all the laboratory tests, the thyroid profile test is one of the most commonly administered. It displays the entire thyroid profile and aids in the monitoring of thyroid gland activity. The tests can identify hyperthyroid...
