The amount of thyroid hormone made by your thyroid gland is adjusted by a gland in the brain called the pituitary. Another part of your brain, the hypothalamus, helps the pituitary. The hypothalamus sends information to the pituitary gland, the pituitary in turn controls the thyroid gland.t does this by releasing more thyroid-stimulating hormone (or TSH), which signals your thyroid to make more thyroid hormone. Your thyroid gland then makes and releases the hormone directly into your bloodstream. Your pituitary gland then senses that there is just the right amount of thyroid hormone in your body.
TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone then acts on the thyroid gland to stimulate the release of T3 and T4, which act negatively on the anterior pituitary gland to suppress the release of TSH, thereby controlling thyroid hormone production. TSH is the most sensitive test for primary hypothyroidism. 2  A decreased T3 and T4 causes an increase in TSH, and an increase in T3 and T4 causes a decrease, with normal thyroid and anterior pituitary/hypothalamus function.
