The condition is hypothyroidism. Thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid-releasing hormone likely also decrease. Decreased responsiveness to injected releasing hormone may indicate a loss of hormone receptors in the anterior pituitary. Increased responsiveness to injected thyroid hormone may indicate up-regulation of hormone receptors in the target tissues, or it may indicate decreased metabolism of the circulating hormone.
