Expert Solution

Introduction:

Thyroid hormones are essential for energy homeostasis control in both people and rodents. The conservation of core body temperature is essential for homeothermic organisms and energy partitioning is needed for heat control. The thyroid hormones control body temperatures by increased body energy and increased appetite, heartbeat, oxygen supplied to various areas of the body. Thyroid hormones function together to preserve body temperature for the nervous system.
