Take, for instance, the thyroid and the two hormones it produces, triiodothyronine and thyroxine.

以腺及其产生的两种激素——三碘腺原腺素为例。

The red light therapy enabled the patients to have approximately 64% less medication, a 64% reduction in level thyroxine requirement.

红光疗法使患者用药量减少了约64%，腺素需求水平也降低了64%。

Follicular cells convert thyroglobulin, a protein found in follicles into 2 iodine containing hormones: triiodothyronine or T3 , and thyroxine or T4 .

泡细胞转化泡当中的腺球蛋白成为两种含碘激素：碘腺原，又称T3；以及腺素，又称T4。

It's like holding back thyroxine from someone who's got a thyroid problem, and you're saying that, you know, you can't say to them, like, come on, let's get some energy.

这就好比对患有腺问题的人扣留腺素，而你却说，你知道吗，不能对他们说“来吧，让我们振作起来” 。 你必须治疗他们的病症。

You're probably gonna want an example of that. So, your thyroid — at the bottom of your throat — produces the hormone thyroxine, which stimulates metabolism and binds to receptors in most of the cells in your body.

你可能想要一个例子。你的腺——在你喉咙的底部——产生荷尔蒙腺素，它刺激新陈代谢并与你身体大多数细胞的受体结合。
