Hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis in moderate and intense exercise

Exercise exerts heterogeneous effects on TSH secretion. Whereas TSH is rapidly stimulated by physical exercise within minutes, and these effects are well supported by careful experiments, the results of studies concerning intermediate and long-term response of TSH release to exercise remain unclear,...

Summary:Exercise exerts heterogeneous effects on TSH secretion. Whereas TSH is rapidly stimulated by physical exercise within minutes, and these effects are well supported by careful experiments, the results of studies concerning intermediate and long-term response of TSH release to exercise remain unclear, and the underlying mechanism for both is still open to speculation.
