Solution
Hormones synthesized by follicular cell:
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone stimulates the follicular cells to produce and secrete the hormones thyroxine or tetra-iodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
- T4 is formed by coupling two diiodinated tyrosines.
- It is responsible for maintaining the metabolism, mood and temperature of the body.
- T3 is formed by coupling a monoiodotyrosine and a diiodotyrosine.
- It is responsible for maintaining metabolism of the body, functions of heart and digestive system, brain development and muscle control.
