The correct answer is TSH

TSH is the acronym for Thyroid-stimulating hormone and is also known as thyrotropin, human TSH or thyrotropic hormone. It is a pituitary hormone that triggers the thyroid gland to produce triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), which ultimately regulates the metabolic activities of virtually all the tissue in the body.
