Abstract

The thyroid is a 15-20 g gland located in the anterior neck whose role is to primarily make thyroxine (T4), as well as small amounts of triiodothyronine (T3). The majority of T3 is formed through extra-thyroidal conversion of T4. Thyroid hormone production is controlled through negative feedback regulation through the release of thyroid-stimulating hormones (TSH) by the pituitary gland which is regulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus [1].
