Synthesis and Secretion of Thyroid Hormones. Thyroid hormones are synthesized by mechanisms fundamentally different from what is seen in other endocrine systems. Thyroid follicles serve as both factory and warehouse for production of thyroid hormones.ach of the processes described above appears to be stimulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary gland. Binding of TSH to its receptors on thyroid epithelial cells stimulates synthesis of the iodine transporter, thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin.
The pituitary gland releases Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which travels directly to the thyroid gland. This hormone stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the two main hormones, T3 and T4. T3 is the more active and usable form of thyroid hormone, but only 7% of the thyroid hormones produced are in the T3 form. 93% of thyroid hormone produced is T4. T4 must be converted into T3 to become useful for the body.
