Pituatary gland - the endocrine system's most influential gland. Under the influence of
the hypothalamus, it regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands.
When thyroid hormone levels in the blood are low, the pituitary releases more TSH.
When thyroid hormone levels are high, the pituitary decreases TSH production.
When theres a problem in the pituatary you will see tsh and T4 both down.
