Understanding Thyrotropin: The Key Hormone in Thyroid Function
Thyrotropin, or thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), is crucial for regulating thyroid function, produced by the pituitary gland. It prompts the thyroid to release hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), essential for metabolism and growth. TSH levels, influenced by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), help diagnose thyroid disorders.
