Vasopressin: A hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland that has several physiological functions, including the regulation of blood pressure and circulatory function. Recent research (most notably in animals) suggests that vasopressin may also play a role in disorders lik...
The hypothalamus is a small structure located at the base of the brain and connects the nervous system to the endocrine system. It is vital in regulating homeostatic functions such as emotions, weight, temperature, blood pressure, reproductive function, etc....
During the past decade great advances have been made in the study of the hypophysiotrophic functions of the hypothalamus, culminating in the isolation and structural identification of three peptides: TRH, LH-RH and somatostatin (Sandow and Knig, 1978). Although several other hormonal (e.g. ...
The hypothalamus releases a hormone called gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and the luteinizing hormone (LH). FSH and LH are known as gonadotropins. FSH is the main driving factor that stimulates the ...
hypothalamic releasing hormone, releasing factor, releasing hormone, RH - any of several hormones produced in the hypothalamus and carried by a vein to the anterior pituitary gland where they stimulate the release of anterior pituitary hormones; each of these hormones causes the anterior pituitary to...
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) made in the hypothalamus binds to the receptors in the pituitary, causing it to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which then stimulates T4 production. If there is too little of the thyroid hormones in the bloodstream, the hypothalamus signals the pituita...
Testosterone is produced mainly in Leydig cells in the testes in men and your adrenal glands.[viii] The synthesis of testosterone also occurs in your brain.[ix]Testosterone is controlled by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), produced by your hypothalamus, which stimulates your pituitary gland ...
Until about five years ago, [状语] the very idea [主语] was [系动词] astounding. [表语] 分句-1 Peptide hormones [主语] might be made [谓语] anywhere in the brain besides the hypothalamus [状语] 4. 句子翻译 主句 Until about five years ago, the very idea was astounding. 大概就在五...
Sex hormones may be one of the explanations. Both estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) production are controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary–gonadal axis, which stimulates sex steroid production by increasing the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus, which in turn ...
The production and release of hormones are regulated by a complex feedback system. The hypothalamus, a region in the brain, plays a crucial role in hormone regulation. It secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones that either stimulate or suppress the release of hormones from the pituitary gland....
