Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Iodine-containing hormones, specifically thyroid hormones, regulate the metabolic rate. TSH is not an iodine-containing hormone, as it is a peptide hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Releasing hormones are not iodine-containing hormones either, as they are typically peptide hormones that stimulate the release of other hormones. Iodine-containing hormones, such as thyroid hormones, are not steroids.
