The pituitary gland will release more thyroid stimulating hormone if iodine is lacking in the diet. The thyroid gland will enlarge in an effort to respond to the TSH. The enlargement (goiter) can be large enough to cause problems for the person with the low iodine. One of the reasons that table salt has iodine in it is due to number of goiters that were see. Afterwards, the numbers dropped.
