Thyrotrophin

What is thyrotropin and why is it needed?

Thyroid-stimulating hormone is a thyroid hormone that helps control the production of T4 and T3 hormones. These hormones play an important role in regulating metabolism and influence the functioning of the nervous system and organs. A lack of thyroid-stimulating hormone can lead to decreased T4 production and poor metabolism, as well as the development of thyroid diseases. An excess of thyroid-stimulating hormones can cause the development of thyrotoxicosis, a disease in which the thyroid gland begins to produce too many hormones.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism (decreased production of thyroid hormones) include fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, constipation, weight gain, drowsiness and memory loss. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism (increased production of thyroid hormones) include increased heart rate, trembling, sweating, weight loss, insomnia and memory problems. Thyroid hormone (T4) and its metabolite (T3) work together to increase metabolism, stimulate the use of calories, and stimulate the body to produce heat. They have a positive effect on all processes associated with metabolism. However, we should not forget that in case of diseases of the thyroid gland, the production of thyrotropin can
