glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxin.
The hormone, produced by the anterior pituitary, that triggers the secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.
A hormone produced by the anterior pituitary that regulates the release of thyroid hormones. Ti plasmid A plasmid of a tumor-inducing bacterium that integrates a segment of its DNA into the host chromosome of a plant; frequently used as a carrier for genetic engineering in plants. tight junction A type of intercellular junction in animal cells that prevents the leakage of material between cells. tissue texere, to weave] An integrated group of cells with a common structure and function.
Hormone elaborated by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
glycoprotein hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary that stimulates secretion of thyroid hormones.
Hormones produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland. TSH is considered the "gold standard" by endocrinologists to tell whether a person has thyroid disease. Also know as Thyrotropin.
anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the function of the thyroid gland
The hormone released from the pituitary that causes the thyroid gland to produce T4 hormone. TSH uses the second messenger cyclic AMP to initiate the synthesis of T4.
THY-roid STIM-u-lay-ting HOR-moan (TSH) A hormone made in the anterior pituitary gland in humans that stimulates the thyroid gland to release two hormones. 667
A hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the thyroid hormones T4 and T3. When the thyroid gland is not working properly, the pituitary releases large amounts of TSH to try to stimulate the thyroid gland into producing thyroid hormone. High amounts of TSH circulating in the bloodstream thus indicate that the thyroid is not secreting enough hormones.
A hormone of the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates and regulates the development and secretory activity of the thyroid gland.
hormone produced by the anterior pituitary that stimulates the production and release of thyroid hormones.
A pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid, leading to increases in metabolism and heart rate.
TSH. A hormone produced by the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the release of thyroid hormone from thyroglobulin. It also stimulates the growth of thyroid follicular cells. An abnormal TSH level may mean that the thyroid hormonal regulation system is out of control, usually as a result of a benign condition (hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism).
a hormone made in the pituitary gland that controls the thyroid gland's production and secretion of thyroid hormone.
One of the trophic hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. Stimulates thyroid follicles to secrete thryroxine.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as TSH or thyrotropin) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland.
