The Thyroid gland located in the neck below the voice box releases hormones into the blood which regulates how quickly the body uses energy. It also regulates the growth rate of the body. It is one of the largest glands in the Endocrine System.

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.
FT3 FT4 TSH how they effect each other?
Answer
As thyroxine levels increase in the blood they exert negative feedback on the release of TSH by the pituitary gland. What effect will this have on the release of TSH?
As thyroxine levels increase the amount of TSH produced will decrease. On the other hand, when TSH levels increase the thyroxine levels will decrease. This is what causes the TSH/thyroxine levels to fluctuate.
What effect does the immune system stimulating tsh have on ones body?
The immune system stimulating TSH stimulates the metabolism of almost all tissues in the body.
What effect does TSH have on metabolic rate?
Hypophysectomized rats do not have the thyroxine with which to regulate metabolic rate properly. Thyroxine replacement can allow for the normalization of the metabolic rate (as it does in humans with hypothyroidism!).
Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
Why would TSH have no effect on the metbolic rate of the thyroidectomized rat?
The only effect of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is to stimulate the thyroid gland tissue to produce thyroxine. If there is no longer a thyroid gland to stimulate, the TSH is produced in great abundance, but with no effect.
What does TSH level 3.89 mean?
is a 3.89 tsh level high?
Is a TSH of 1.08 good?
Yes, a TSH of 1.08 is within the normal range.
Is a TSH value of 5.35 considered hyperthyroidism?
Because TSH is a part of the body's negative feedback system which controls the thyroid's output of thyroid hormones, a DECREASE of TSH would indicate hypERthyroidism. An INCREASE of TSH indicates hypOthyroidism.
Does the over production of tsh cause hypothyroidism?
No. An overproduction of TSH would cause hyperthyroidism.
What happens to TSH as thyroxine increase?
tsh goes down as thyroxine goes up.
