Description

L-Thyronine is a hormone that is synthesized in the thyroid gland and has a variety of biological functions. It is used to treat congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, and other types of heart disease. L-Thyronine binds to receptors on cells and activates them, which stimulates production of energy for the cell. L-Thyronine also increases the number of mitochondria in cells and regulates the production of nitric oxide, which plays an important role in vascular relaxation. L-Thyronine can be administered orally or intravenously as a solution. The clinical response to treatment is evaluated by measurement of serum thyroxin levels before and after administration of L-Thyronine.
