Question:

What hormone affects every cell in the body?

Jeremy

Answer:

Dear Jeremy,

Thyroid hormone (TH) is actually two physiologically active hormones known as T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triodothyronine) .

Because its primary function is to control the rate of body metabolism and cellular oxidation TH affects virtually every cell in the body.
