increase D2 activity and suppress
TSH levels, further decreasing thyroid levels and making it inappropriate to use the
TSH as a reliable marker for tissue thyroid levels in the presence of elevated insulin levels as occurs with obesity, insulin resistance, or type II diabetes (91 - 99,233).
The
increased cortisol levels seen with stress also contribute to physiologic disconnect between the
TSH and peripheral tissue T3 levels (16,18 - 20).

TSH (11,16,18 - 22,234).
Thus, if any inflammation is present, which is found in numerous clinical and subclinical conditions (as above), the body will have lower cellular T3 levels that are often inadequate for optimal functioning; but the pituitary will have
increased levels of T3, resulting in a lowering of the
TSH that would potentially be inappropriately interpreted as an indication of «normal» thyroid levels.
