Thyroxine is a hormone the thyroid gland secretes into the bloodstream. Thyroxine plays a crucial role in heart and digestive function, metabolism, brain development, bone health, and muscle control. It affects almost all of the body systems, which means proper thyroxine levels are vital for health. Thyroxine has no role in osmoregulation.
