Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid-stimulating hormone also called as  thyrotropic hormone or thyrotropin.Thyroid-stimulating hormone  is a pituitary hormone that produces thyroxine (T4), and then triiodothyronine (T3) by stimulating the thyroid gland which in turn stimulates the metabolism of each and every tissue in the body. It is a hormone of glycoprotein produced cells in the anterior pituitary gland by thyrotrope, which regulates and maintain the endocrine functions of the thyroid. Throughout the life, Thyroid-stimulating hormone is secreted but particularly reaches high levels during rapid development and growth as well as in order to stress.

The hypothalamus develops thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), in the base of the brain. TRH stimulates production of TSH in the anterior pituitary gland.
