 ==== Thyrotropin ====
-Thyrotropin (TSH) is a glycoprotein made up of two sub-particles (alpha and beta). The antagonist of the alpha sub-particle is chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), that is - the higher the hCG the lower the TSH. In humans, it increases thyroid mass, increases blood flow through the organ, glucose transport, and metabolism, and enhances the production and secretion of thyroid hormones: thyroxine and triiodothyronine. It is produced by thyrotropes, which are polyhedral and contain grains (140-200 nm in diameter) that store it. [([[https://academic.oup.com/edrv/article/30/2/133/2355052|Oxford Academic]])]
