==Overview==
When the TRH-TSH thyroid hormone axis is interfered, it results in the structural and functional changes of the thyroid gland. Increased TSH production is trigerred by a deficiency in thyroid hormone synthesis or intake. In order to normalize thyroid hormone levels, the increase in TSH leads to increased cellularity and hyperplasia of the thyroid gland and when this process is continuous, it leads to goiter.
When the [[Thyrotropin-releasing hormone|thyrotrophin releasing hormone]]-[[Thyroid-stimulating hormone|thyroid stimulating hormone]] axis ([[TRH]]-[[TSH]] [[thyroid hormone]] [[axis]]) is interfered, it results in structural and functional changes in the [[thyroid gland]]. Increased [[TSH]] production is trigerred by a [[deficiency]] in [[thyroid hormone]] [[synthesis]] or intake. In order to normalize [[thyroid hormone]] levels, the increase in [[TSH]] leads to increased cellularity and [[hyperplasia]] of the [[thyroid gland]] and when this process occurs continuously, it leads to goiter.

Overview

When the thyrotrophin releasing hormone-thyroid stimulating hormone axis (TRH-TSH thyroid hormone axis) is interfered, it results in structural and functional changes in the thyroid gland. Increased TSH production is trigerred by a deficiency in thyroid hormone synthesis or intake. In order to normalize thyroid hormone levels, the increase in TSH leads to increased cellularity and hyperplasia of the thyroid gland and when this process occurs continuously, it leads to goiter.

Pathophysiology
