Low functioning of the thyroid gland can result in hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland is an endocrine (hormonal) gland situated in the front of the neck. It is responsible for regulating metabolic activity throughout the body. That means a low-functioning thyroid can impact almost every cell of the body.
