What is an Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test?
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland. The function of TSH is to let the thyroid know whether it has to produce more or less thyroid hormones. A higher level of TSH in the blood makes the thyroid produce more T3 and T4, while a lower level of TSH makes the thyroid produce less of these hormones. T3 and T4 both give feedback to the pituitary, so that it knows the amount of TSH that needs to be released in the blood.
As with any hormonal interaction, there can be a few issues with this system. Conditions of the thyroid or the pituitary gland can cause a level of TSH that is too high or too low. You can read all about TSH, its function and the conditions that may influence it in this article.
Why is TSH important?
TSH is important because it stimulates the production of thyroid hormones. These are very important hormones as they regulate crucial processes in our body.
>The regulation of the heart rate, respiratory rate and blood volume
> The regulation of heat production
> Oxygen delivery to the tissues
> The promotion of skeletal development
> An increase in wakefulness and alertness
> The regulation of the reproductive system in men and women
> The regulation of the gastro-intestinal function
> The regulation of the pituitary function
> Normal brain development - especially during pregnancy
> Cell function and metabolism.
