Thyroid-stimulating hormone

Product name:Thyroid-stimulating hormone

Descriptions:Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as TSH or thyrotropin) is a peptide hormone synthesized and secreted by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland.
TSH levels are tested in the blood of patients suspected of suffering from excess (hyperthyroidism), or deficiency (hypothyroidism) of thyroid hormone. In general, a standard reference range for TSH for adults is between 0.4 and 5.0 ?IU/mL (equivalent to mIU/L), but values vary slightly among labs. The therapeutic target range TSH level for patients on treatment ranges between 0.3 to 3.0 μIU/L.[5] The interpretation depends also on what the blood levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are.
