High thyroid hormone:

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that promotes the growth and function of the thyroid gland. Human TSH is a glycoprotein containing 211 amino acids, with carbohydrates accounting for approximately 15% of the entire molecule. The entire molecule consists of two peptide chains - the outer chain. TSH comprehensively promotes the function of the thyroid gland. The earlier one is to promote the release of thyroid hormones, and the later one is to promote the synthesis of T4 and T3, including strengthening the activity of iodine pump, enhancing the activity of peroxidase, promoting the synthesis of thyroglobulin and tyrosine iodination, etc.
