L-Thyroxine (T4) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland and plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and development. It is synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine and contains four iodine atoms, which are essential for its biological activity. In the body, L-Thyroxine is converted to the more active hormone triiodothyronine (T3). It is commonly used as a therapeutic agent to treat hypothyroidism and other thyroid-related disorders, helping to restore normal metabolic function and energy balance in affected individuals.
