This signal is called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). As the name implies, this hormone stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone and to grow in size. This abnormal growth in size produces what is termed a âgoiter.â Thus, iodine deficiency is one cause of goiter development. Wherever iodine deficiency is common, goiter will be common.
TSH Range. The function of thyroid stimulating hormone (or TSH) is to regulate the normal levels of thyroid hormones in the body. It is a peptide hormone secreted by the thyrotrope cells of anterior pituitary gland. The TSH activates the thyroid gland to produce both Triiodothyronine(T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones. A TSH level count ranging between 0.5 and 3mIU/L confirms thyroid disorder. 2  The normal TSH range for newborns ranges from between 1 â 39 mIU/L. 3  The normal TSH levels for children ranges from between 0.7 â 6.4 mIU/L.
