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.
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.
What hormone is needed thyroxine production?
thyroxine is produced in the Thyroid gland
What is the target gland for tsh?
the thyroid
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
What will happen when Thyroid Stimulating Hormone value is greater than the reference level?
When TSH is high, it stimulates the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormones. An elevated TSH usually means a hypOthyroid patient. Rarely, an elevated TSH may result in hypERthyroid symptoms when the feedback system that controls TSH production is not working properly.
Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
State the hormone that normally stimulates the thyroid and the tissue where this hormones originates?
the thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh)..tsh is produced in the anterior pituitary lobe
What hormone regulates thyroid function?
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) regulates thyroid function by stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). High levels of TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid, while low levels can indicate an overactive thyroid.
