There are several thyroid hormones, but the most frequently referenced are T4 and T3.
- T4 - thyroxine - is storage hormone. Its job is to circulate until it is needed. It will be converted by the body into T3 as needed by cells and organs.
- T3 - triiodothyronine - this is the hormone used by the body's cells. Some is produced by the thyroid, but most is converted by the body as needed from T4.
TSH is often considered a thyroid hormone, however it is not. It is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid to produce hormones.
