Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). They are often collectively referred to as thyroid hormone because T4 is largely inactive, meaning it doesn't impact your cells, whereas T3 is active
Due to thyroid inflammation or thyroid disease there could be a possibility of high TSH levels but normal T3 and T4.
Your hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which triggers your pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates your thyroid to release T3 and T4.
