What Does T3 Stand For?
T3 stands for Triiodothyronine
T3, or Triiodothyronine, is a key thyroid hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development in the body. Composed of three iodine atoms, T3 is more biologically active than its counterpart, thyroxine (T4), and influences various physiological processes, including heart rate, body temperature, and protein synthesis. Accurate levels of T3 are essential for maintaining metabolic balance and overall health.
