A TSH blood draw typically goes into a lavender or purple-top tube containing an EDTA anticoagulant. This tube is used for testing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels as part of thyroid function tests.

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.
