Neurons in the hypothalamus secrete thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH stimulates cells in the anterior pituitary to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH binds to receptors on epithelial cells in the thyroid gland, stimulating synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones (THs). When the concentration of THs reaches 8 ng/mL, the neurons in the hypothalamus are inhibited from producing TRH. If a person was given an injection of 52 ng/mL TSH, what effect would it have on TRH production?

It would double.

It would quadruple.

It would remain the same.

It would slow or stop.

    Obeying the laws of homeostasis, it would slow or stop (in this case due to such a high concentration it would most likely stop)
