• Background: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland and regulates the synthesis/ release of T3 and T4 by thyroid gland. TSH has two subunits, namely alpha and beta. The alpha subunit is similar to the alpha subunit found in LH, FSH and hCG glycoprotein hormones. However, the beta subunit is specific and differs from hormone to hormone. The serum TSH measurement is one of the most important tools in the diagnosis of thyroid disorders. Increased serum TSH is an early and sensitive indicator of decreased thyroid reserve and overt primary hypothyroidism. Decreased of TSH levels is an indicator of TSH-independent hyperthyroidism (Graves disease).
