    It is unclear if this finding reflects shortcomings of the index (i.e. low specificity in the setting of subclinical hypothyroidism) or plastic responses of the pituitary gland to beginning hypothyroidism. [citation needed] In subjects with type 2 diabetes, treatment with beta blockers resulted in increased TSH index, but the mechanism is ...

    [22] [23] 3,5-T2 levels were also observed to correlate with concentrations of rT3 (reverse T3) [22] in patients with euthyroid sick syndrome. NTIS is a component of a complex endocrine adaptation process, so affected patients might also have hyperprolactinemia and elevated levels of corticosteroids (especially cortisol) and growth hormone.

  9. Thyroid-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid-stimulating_hormone

    Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, or abbreviated TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T 4), and then triiodothyronine (T 3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body. [1]
