Answer:

4. Thyroid hormone levels decrease, TRH level increase, PRL level increase

Explanation:

Surgical removal of Thyroid gland will lead to hypothyroidism.

Normally, the surgery is followed by maintenance dose of thyroxine to avoid side effects.

In the presence of hypothyroidism, however, the decreased thyroid hormone will lead to increase in thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). increased TRH increases production of prolactin. (but less than that in prolactinoma)

Answer: hypothyroidism causes an elevation of TRH which causes an elevation of prolactin.

4

Explanation: hormone decrease leads to rapid decrease in T3 and T4 which would allow the thyroid regulatory hormone(TRH) TO increase due to the non existence of thyroid gland necessary for T3 and T4, and without the presence of thyroid hormones to counter the production of prolactin hence, the level of prolactin would increase.
