The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, below the hypothalamus. It is the gland that controls the endocrine system by producing hormones that control the activities of other hormone-producing glands. One of the hormones the pituitary gland produces is the TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone. The hormone tells the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones like T3 and T4. These hormones perform certain vital tasks like regulation of temperature, metabolism, energy generation, heartbeat control, etc.
The TSH regulates the function of the thyroid gland. If the thyroid gland isn't producing enough thyroid hormones, the pituitary gland will produce extra TSH to coax the thyroid gland to increase thyroid hormone production. Similarly, too much of thyroid hormones will be countered by the pituitary gland, reducing its TSH production.
So if the TSH test shows above normal levels of TSH, a person may have hypothyroidism, whereas if the TSH test shows low levels of TSH, a person may be diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.
