Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is secreted by the anterior pituitary, regulates thyroxine production. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone regulates the generation of TSH (TRH). It has an impact on the functioning of practically all organ systems, which are crucial in normal physical and mental growth and function from conception to old age. The hormone thyroxine (T4 serum) has a typical adult limit of 4.5 to 12.0 ng/dl.Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, goitre and iodine deficient disorders, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and thyroid cancer are the five most frequent thyroid diseases in India.
