Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism in biological systems where a change in a variable triggers a response that counteracts the initial change, thus maintaining homeostasis. This process is crucial for ensuring that physiological systems operate within optimal ranges, and it plays a key role in hormonal control of metabolism and regulation of thyroid hormones, which help balance energy levels and metabolic processes in the body.
