Feedback:
Thyroid hormone production and release are regulated by the anterior pituitary hormone called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The secretion of TSH is regulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), a hypothalamic regulating factor. Tetraiodothyronine and triiodothyronine are thyroid hormones produced by the thyroid gland because of TSH stimulation.
