What is TSH hormone?
TSH is the thyrotropic hormone or thyroid stimulating hormone which is involved in regulating the growth and activity of the thyroid gland.
What is the specific target tissue of TSH and describe it's specific action?
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) targets TSH receptors primarily in the thyroid gland. TSH fits like a key into the receptors (lock) and turns the thyroid 'on' so it will produce thyroid hormones.
What is the effect of TSH on the thyriodectomized rats metabolic rate?
None. TSH is a signal fo rthe thyroid to make and release more thyroid hormone. If the thyroid is removed TSH wil have no effect.
What is the target gland for tsh?
the thyroid
Why low TSH is called hyperthyroidism and high TSH is called hypo thyroidism?
TSH is not a thyroid hormone - it is a pituitary hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's job is to tell the thyroid how much thyroid hormone to produce. This is called a negative feedback system.The thyroid produces hormone.The brain reads that there is insufficient hormone in the bodyThe pituitary gland in the brain produces more TSH that turns the thyroid onMore TSH means the thyroid produces even more thyroid hormone.When there is too much thyroid hormone in the body, the pituitary turns off TSH as the body doesn't need any MORE thyroid hormone.If the brain, pituitary and thyroid are working properly, thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be high (hypERthyroidism) when TSH is low, and thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be low (hypOthyroidism) when TSH is high.
Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TSH production?
Increase in thyroid hormone will lower TSH production, because there is a feedback loop between TSH that stimulates the production of thyroid hormone and the hormone that then will then regulate the stimulation of TSH so that thyroid hormone is not over produced.
What is a tsh of 0.52?
The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or TSH test is used to test problems associated with thyroid disorders
Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
Is TSH level of 27.03 high?
The "normal range of TSH is 0.3 to 3.0 μIU/mL. A TSH level that is above that range would be considered "high". The pituitary produces TSH to tell the thyroid glands to produce more thyroid hormones. If the thyroid glands to not respond, the pituitary produces greater and greater levels of TSH. A TSH level that high indicates that there is something significantly wrong with the thyroid glands, and the patient should be prescribed thyroid replacement hormones.
How bad is a TSH level of 15.19?
This is a moderately elevated TSH level. It is indicative of a hypothyroid state, warranting further investigation and treatment. (Remember, when TSH from the pituitary is elevated, it means that the thyroid stimulating hormone is attempting to have the thyroid gland produce more thyroxine {T4}. Therefore, this situation is representative of a hypothyroid state in most circumstances.)
What are different thyroid levels?
Thyroid levels are measurements of the thyroid hormones in your body. Low TSH suggests you have too much thyroid hormone circulating. High TSH suggests you don't have enough thyroid hormone circulating.
What is the stimulus for release of Thyroid hormone?
Unlike some medical terminology, this one is kind of straightforward. Thyroid-stimulating hormone is what stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone.
