A hormone released from the pituitary gland that stimulates thyroid function.
A hormone secreted by the pituitary gland which stimulates the thyroid gland.
A hormone released by the pituitary that stimulates the thyroid gland to make and release thyroxine.
A hormone that causes the thyroid gland to secrete additional amounts of thyroxine.
Hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that controls the release of thyroid hormone (thyroxine) from the thyroid. It is influenced by thyrotropin-releasing factor from the hypothalamus.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone stimulates the production of the thyroid gland hormone thyroxine and its release into the bloodstream. TSH secretion is regulated by TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone), a hormone produced by the hypothalamus.
A hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary that stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that promotes the growth of the thyroid gland and stimulates it to produce more thyroid hormones. When thyroid hormones reach high levels, the pituitary gland stops producing TSH, which reduces thyroid hormone production.
A biochemical messenger released by the anterior pituitary into the bloodstream that stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroxine.
Substance secreted by the pituitary gland that triggers the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
A hormone that triggers the thyroid gland to produce hormones that play a crucial role in regulating metabolism.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is generated in the pituitary gland, situated at the base of the brain. It circulates through the bloodstream to the thyroid gland, prompting it to release other hormones, specifically T3 and T4, which play a role in the body’s energy utilization.
