TSH is inhibited by feedback inhibition exerted by the thyroid hormones on the anterior pituitary and hypothalamus and by GHIH.

∙ 11y agoTSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone is produced when the hypothalumus releases a substance called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then triggers the pituitary gland to release TSH.

What endocrine organ is located in the throatand bilobed gland connected by an isthmus?
Thyroid gland, releases Tsh
Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
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.
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.
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.
Is a tsh level of 0.61 overactive or underactive?
is a tsh level of 0.61 overactive or underactive
What is TSH with reflex?
my tsh reflex result is .90 range is to be 040-4.0 should this be of concern?
What is normal TSH level?
TSH levels show ranges. For newborns TSH normal levels should be: 3.0-20 mIU/L. For adults up to age 60 TSH normal levels should be: <10 mIU/L For adults older than 60 TSH normal levels should be: Males: 2.0-7.3 mIU/L Females: 2.0-16.8 mIU/L
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.
