Exploring Metabolism and Youthful Traits Linked to T3 in Children
The chapter delves into the relationship between childhood features associated with high T3 levels and metabolic rates, highlighting studies showing higher rates in children compared to adults. It discusses evolutionary theories and how certain primate species maintain youthful traits due to elevated T3 levels, along with insights on pulse rates and mortality trends. The conversation further explores age-related changes in metabolism, energy requirements in the elderly, and the impact of various factors like thyroid hormone and diet on metabolic rate.
