Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Conversely, excess thyrotropin causes the hypertrophy of the thyroid, i.e., goiter. Inactivating or activating mutations of the TSH receptor similarly lead to thyroid atrophy or goiter. Antibodies blocking or activating the receptor have similar effects.
Detailed explanation-2: -TSH tells your thyroid how much thyroid hormone it needs to make. If the thyroid hormone levels in your blood are too low, your pituitary gland makes larger amounts of TSH to tell your thyroid to work harder. If your thyroid hormone levels are too high, the pituitary gland makes little or no TSH.
