Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)




Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also called thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, TSH, or HTSH for human TSH) is a pituitary hormone that causes thyroid gland to form thyroid (T4), and then to produce triangular thyon (T3) Stimulates the metabolism of almost everyone, tissue in the body. This is the glycoprotein hormone produced by thyrotropic cells in the predecessor pituitary gland, which regulates the thyroid function of thyroid. In 1916, Bennett M. Allen and Philip E. Smith found that pituitary contains thyrotropic substance.Thyroid stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. Its role is to control the production of hormones by the thyroid gland.
What is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone?
Thyroid stimulating hormone is produced in the blood stream by the pituitary gland. It regulates the production of thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine by the thyroid gland by binding the receptors located on the cells in the thyroid gland. Thyroid and triiodothyronine are essential to maintain the body’s metabolic rate, heart and digestive function, muscle control, brain development and maintenance of bones.
Hormone Levels
TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to spray hormone thyroxine (T4) with half an hour of life, which has some effect on metabolism. T4 is converted into triiodothyronine  (T3), which is an active hormone that stimulates metabolism. About 80% of this conversion is in the liver and other organs, and thyroid has 20%.
TSH is confidential in whole life but with rapid growth and development period, it reaches high levels in response to stress.
Depending on the brain, the hypothalamus produces thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to produce TSH. Read More
