Info

Hormones play a central role in regulating metabolism, ensuring the body efficiently uses energy for growth, repair, and daily activity. Major metabolic hormones include insulin, which lowers blood glucose by helping cells absorb sugar, and glucagon, which increases blood glucose by releasing stored energy from the liver. Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) regulate the body’s metabolic rate, influencing how fast calories are burned. Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, helps manage energy during stress by breaking down fats and proteins. Growth hormone supports tissue repair and boosts fat metabolism, while adrenaline triggers instant energy release during fight-or-flight responses.
