This information is used to determine the density of the air entering the combustion chamber (in conjunction with the IAT (Intake Air temperature) sensor), which is used when calculating the proper air/fuel mixture for the engine, especially at WOT since the system is not in closed-loop at this time.
The TTR gene provides instructions for producing a protein called transthyretin. This protein transports vitamin A (retinol) and a hormone called thyroxine throughout the body. To transport thyroxine, four transthyretin proteins must be attached (bound) to each other to form a four-protein unit (tetramer).
T3 & T4. The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating body metabolism through its production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) tyrosine-based hormones. You may have heard about the T3 and T4 hormones before, but may not realize its importance in your body. The T3 and T4 hormones are produced by the thyroid gland, and are secreted into the blood stream to regulate the body's metabolism. Functions of T3 and T4. These hormones are essential to the growth of the body. The T3 and T4 hormones act on almost every cell, increasing the metabolic rate, affecting protein synthesis and regulating bone growth.
