Question
The following statement regarding thyroid hormone is FALSE:
- a) Thyroid hormone is essential for normal growth and development
- b) Thyroid hormone is anabolic
- c) Thyroid hormone stimulate lipolysis
- d) Thyroid hormone facilitates erythropoiesis
Qxiii1 marksMCQs
Answer
Correct answer: b) Thyroid hormone is anabolic
This statement is false — thyroid hormone at supraphysiological/excess levels is actually catabolic, promoting protein breakdown and muscle wasting (a hallmark clinical feature of hyperthyroidism), not anabolic. It is genuinely essential for normal growth and development, stimulates lipolysis, and facilitates erythropoiesis — all true statements.
