The hormone which regulates carbohydrates, protein and fat metabolism in our body is thyroxine. Thyroxine hormone is secreted by the thyroid gland. 

Iodised salt in the diet is important because it contains iodine, which is essential for the synthesis of thyroxine hormone by the thyroid gland. In case. iodine is deficient in our diet, there is a possibility of suffering from goitre.
