What is "thyroid-stimulating hormone"?

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the function of the thyroid gland. It stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and release thyroid hormones, which play a crucial role in controlling metabolism, growth, and development in the body. TSH acts as a key regulator of thyroid hormone production, ensuring the proper functioning of the thyroid and maintaining overall hormonal balance.
