I am aware that hormones can be categorized in different ways. One way is that they are separated between Amine Hormones, Steroid Hormones or Peptide Hormones. So in which of these three does thyroid hormone belong???
-
It's an amine hormone. Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. Thyroid hormones are derived from iodine and tyrosine. Tyrosine is an amine.

ThyROID would suggest the steROID category.
