Thyrotropin releasing hormone deficiency

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone deficiency means that the thyroid-releasing hormone is below the normal range: 14 to 168 picomoles / liter (5 to 60 picograms / ml) , TRH) is a peptide hormone (Peptide Hormone) produced by the hypothalamus (Hypothalamus), which can regulate the secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin in the anterior pituitary gland. In addition to the brain, TRH can also be detected in the digestive tract and islets. Synthetic TRH is used to check whether the hypothalamus and thyroid function are normal. TSH is secreted by the hypothalamus. TSH is secreted by the pituitary gland.
