Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) released from the hypothalamus
stimulates secretion of
thyrotropin-stimulating hormone, TSH, from the anterior pituitary.
TSH, in turn, is the physiologic
stimulus for the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones,
L-thyroxine (T ) and L-triiodothyronine
(T ), by the thyroid gland. Circulating serum T and T levels exert a
feedback effect on both TRH and
TSH secretion. When serum T and T levels increase, TRH and TSH
secretion decrease. When
thyroid hormone levels d
