Overview
TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland that is located at the base of the brain. This hormone binds to the cells in the thyroid, stimulating this small butterfly shaped gland located in the front of the neck to produce T3 and T4. The thyroid gland plays an important role in the body as it manages muscle strength, mood, and body temperature. The TSH hormone also influences metabolism. The TSH test is an important test as it helps to timely detect and manage irregularities in the thyroid gland.
