Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters were raped and murdered, while her husband, Dr. William Petit, was injured during a home invasion in Cheshire, Connecticut.
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.
Let me explain. Technically the normal range for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is between 0.4 and 5. However, people with a TSH higher than 3, tend to have a high likelihood of developing hypothyroidism in the future. What this really means is that people with a TSH of 3-5 probably are developing hypothyroidism, but are no there yet.
