Descriptions about T4 L-thyroxine Levothyroxine
Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is a synthetic (man-made) version of the principle thyroid hormone, Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) that is made and released by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) increases the metabolic rate of cells of all tissues in the body. In the fetus and newborn, thyroid hormone Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is important for the growth and development of all tissues including bones and the brain. In adults, thyroid hormone Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) helps to maintain brain function, utilization of food, and body temperature, among other effects.
Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is a thyroid medicine that replaces a hormone normally produced by your thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism. Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is given when the thyroid does not produce enough of this hormone on its own. Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) treats hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is also used to treat or prevent goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), which can be caused by hormone imbalances, radiation treatment, surgery, or cancer.

Applications of T4 L-thyroxine Levothyroxine
Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) replaces or provides more thyroid hormone, which is normally produced by the thyroid gland. Low thyroid hormone levels can occur naturally or when the thyroid gland is injured byradiation/medications or removed by surgery. Having enough thyroid hormone Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is important for maintaining normal mental and physical activity. In children, having enough thyroid hormone is important for normal mental and physical development.
Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is also used to treat other types of thyroid disorders (such as certain types of goiters, thyroid cancer). Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) should not be used to treat infertility unless it is caused by low thyroid hormone levels.

Interactions of T4 L-thyroxine Levothyroxine
Levothyroxine (T4 L-thyroxine ) is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), an endogenous hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, which is converted to its active metabolite, L-triiodothyronine (T3). T4 and T3 bind to thyroid receptor proteins in the cell nucleus and cause metabolic effects through the control of DNA transcription and protein synthesis. Like its naturally secreted counterpart, levothyroxine is a chiral compound in the L-form.
