Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) is produced in the hypothalamus and also within the immune system. In the pituitary gland, TRH regulates the release of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), prolactin and growth hormone. Within the immune system, TRH has an effect on the development of intestinal...

Somatostatin- inhibits the release ofthyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and growth hormone (GH). Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone- stimulates the release of growth hormone by the pituitary. Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone- stimulates the pituitary to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH regulates ...
We examined in the rat several possible relationships between the pineal gland and the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis. The pineal gland, the retina, and the hypothalamus exhibited a diurnal rhythm in thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) content with peak values occurring around 1200 h. This rhyth...
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH).TRH triggers your anterior pituitary to send thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to your thyroid gland. TSH then makes your thyroid release the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). T4 and T3 help control how your cells use energy (calories) from ...
(GH), also called somatotropin—a protein hormone produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Its primary function is anabolic; it promotes protein synthesis and tissue building through direct and indirect mechanisms (Figure 4). GH levels are controlled by the release of GHRH and GHIH ...
The release of hormones from the adrenal cortex is stimulated by: A. thyroid hormone. B. adrenocorticotropic hormone. C. oxytocin. D. antidiuretic hormone. E. luteinizing hormone. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is secreted by the: A. hypothalamus,...
Which hormone stimulates the release of thyroid hormones? What are the functions of each type of hormone produced by the adrenal cortex? Which hormone is secreted by the pineal gland? What are the three layers of the adrenal cortex and what hormones are they responsible for producing? Which of...
Recently, kisspeptin, a peptide hormone secreted by neurons in the hypothalamus, has emerged as a key regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis through its potent stimulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release.13 Estrogen, being critical for the maintenance of normal ...
