What is Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)?
Secondary hypothyroidism is the result of insufficient levels of this trophic hormone.

What is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
This protein synthesized in the Follicle Cell of the thyroid bind to new T3 and T4 hormones until they are ready to be secreted.
What is Thyroglobulin?
Secondary hypothyroidism would result in these levels of TRH, TSH, and TH. (Elevated/depressed)
Elevated TRH
Depressed TSH
Depressed TH
In adults, This hormone upregulates Beta-adrenergic receptors in autorhythmic and contractile cardiac cells.
What is Triiodothyronine (T3)
