Pharmacology: Basics for RNs

The production of the thyroid pro-hormone, T4 (thyroxine) is controlled by Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary, which is in turn controlled by thryotropin releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus. In tissue, T3 is converted to the active thyroid hormone T3 (triiodothyronine). ................
