2001 study by Leon J.S. Brookken

Suppression of Serum TSH by Graves’ Ig: Evidence for a Functional Pituitary TSH Receptor.

This study was crucial to my well-being post Radioactive Iodine. It shows how TSH is not a reliable factor when dosing while on ATD's or while on thyroid replacement hormone post Radioactive Iodine and Thyroidectomy.

This 2009 study by Georges Gelwane comes to the same conclusion as the above study by Leon J. S. Brokken, providing insight into the regulation of serum TSH concentrations and also suggest an alternative mechanism, in addition to serum thyroid hormone levels, for adjusting TSH secretion.

Important information explaining the suppression of TSH when Free T3 and Free T4 are in range while taking ATD's, and thyroid replacement hormone post Radioactive Iodine and Surgery.
