Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates thyroid gland follicles to produce T₄.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the development of follicles in the ovaries and testes. It does not have any interaction with the thyroid gland or the production of T₄ (thyroxine). The hormone that stimulates the thyroid follicles to produce T₄ is thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is also produced by the anterior pituitary gland.
