Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secretion of leptin is not a function of thyroid hormone. Leptin is produced by adipose tissue and regulates energy balance and metabolism by acting on the hypothalamus in the brain. Thyroid hormone plays a role in regulating metabolism, increasing oxygen use by cells, stimulating tissue growth and protein synthesis, and moving calcium from the blood into bones.
