    Glossary Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone

    regulates thyroid hormone production and release

    Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the function of the thyroid gland. It stimulates the thyroid to produce and release thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), which are crucial for metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development. Elevated or decreased levels of TSH can indicate thyroid dysfunction, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
