Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which regulates the synthesis of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) by the anterior pituitary gland, is mostly produced by neurons in the PVN. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4. The levels of serum-free T4 and free T3 are regulated by ...
We hypothesize that the slowing down of thyroid function is a gradual process that may start with an increase in TSH and gradually affect T3 and T4 levels due to the compensatory function of the thyroid gland. In young MDD patients, this change in thyroid function may still be in its early...
