Ganong says that circulating T3 is the principal feedback regulator of TSH secretion (p.328).

However, Ganong also mentions "TSH secretion is inhibited in a negative feedback fashion by circulating free T4 & T3. The effect of T4 is enhanced by production of T3 in the cytoplasm of the pituitary cells". <<--and i think it's this last concept that KLN also mentions

very very HY concept ! Kaplan does a great job ...
T3 molecules create the negat. feedback, circulating T4 is converted into intracellular T3 within the tyrotroph cells.
Circulating T3 creates a very little - feedback bc under N cond. is very little circ. T3 !
Abnormal sit---->if inducing nonphysiologically incr. circulating T3( injection of T3)--->incr - feedback-->decr THS

thanks for the link, me007. very informative. in fact, that's exactly where i came across it, and the qn is also the same, and i did get it wrong. so the confusion still prevails! and nobody has got the definitive answer.
this qn better not show up on my exam, coz i'd know both the right answers, and wouldn't be able to decide which to pick!
