Thyroid Hormone Release

Molecular classification
Hormone Secretion, Endocrine Process
01

Overview

Thyroid hormone release refers to the process by which the thyroid gland secretes its primary hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), into the bloodstream. This process is a critical component of endocrine regulation, influencing metabolism, growth, development, and numerous physiological functions. The release is tightly controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, with TSH stimulating the thyroid to release T4 and T3, and negative feedback from these hormones regulating TRH and TSH secretion.
