Thyroid-stimulating hormone. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, TSH, or hTSH for human TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4), and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
The TSH test is one of several thyroid tests used to check for thyroid disease. The thyroid gland makes hormones that go into your bloodstream and control how fast your bodyâs cells do their work.
