It is called Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and is released from the pituitary gland.

It's pretty obvious: TSH, which is made by the pituitary and stands for "Thyroid Stimulating Hormone."

Thyroid stimulating Hormone (TSH) which is secreted by anterior lobe of thyroid gland stimulates teh thyroid glands.

The thyroid (from the Greek word for "shield", after its shape) is one of the larger endocrine glands in the body. It is a double-lobed structure located in the neck and produces hormones, principally thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), that regulate the rate of metabolism and affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body. The hormone calcitonin is also produced and controls calcium blood levels. Iodine is necessary for the production of both hormones. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) are the most common problems of the thyroid gland.
