**'''Increase Basal Metabolic Rate''' (BMR) - in all tissues except brain, spleen, gonads. Results in increased heat production, increased oxygen consumption.

**'''Decrease body weight''' - Increased BMR results in increased utilisation of energy substrates

*[[Cardiorespiratory System - Anatomy & Physiology#Upper Respiratory Tract|'''Respiratory system''']] - indirectly affected through increased BMR causing increased demand for oxygen and increased excretion of carbon dioxide.

*[[Nervous and Special Senses - Anatomy & Physiology#Nervous System|'''Nervous system''']] - thyroid hormones are required for myelination of [[PNS Structure - Anatomy & Physiology#Neurons|neurons]] during the development of this system. They also enhance the sympathetic nervous system (by increasing epinephrine receptors).
