| thyrotrophic releasing hormone | <endocrinology> Tripeptide (pyroGlu His Pro NH2) that releases thyrotrophin from the anterior pituitary by stimulating adenyl cyclase. May also have neurotransmitter and paracrine functions. (18 Nov 1997) |

| thyrotropic hormone | thyroid stimulating hormone |
| thyrotropin | <endocrinology> Polypeptide hormone (28 kD), secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, that activates cyclic AMP production in thyroid cells leading to production and release of the thyroid hormones (T4 and T3). T4 and T3 blood levels feedback on the pituitary gland and decrease thyroid stimulating hormone production when T3 and T4 levels are high. (27 Sep 1997) |
| thyrotropin resistance | An autosomal recessive disorder in which the thyrocytes are unresponsive to thyrotropin. Compare: pseudohypoparathyroidism. (05 Mar 2000) |

| thyrotropin-releasing hormone | <protein> See thyrotrophic releasing hormone. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test | TRH stimulation test, a test of pituitary response to injection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone, which normally stimulates pituitary secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, thyrotropin), used primarily to distinguish pituitary from hypothalamic causes of thyroid disorders; TSH does not rise in cases of pituitary dysfunction, but does rise in cases of hypothalamic disorders.

| thyroxine | <drug, endocrinology> Thyroid hormone. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thyroxine sodium | A preparation obtained by the action of a limited amount of sodium carbonate upon thyroxine; it contains between 61 and 65% of iodine. See: sodium levothyroxine, sodium liothyronine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyroxine-binding globulin | An alpha-globulin of blood with a strong binding affinity for thyroxine; triiodothyronine is bound to it much less firmly; a deficiency or excess of this protein may occur as a rare benign X-linked disorder. Synonym: thyroxine-binding protein. (05 Mar 2000) |
