Study Notes
Hypothalamic Hormones
- Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH) stimulates the release of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
- Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (Gn-RH) stimulates the release of both Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
Thyroid and Growth Regulation
- Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH) or Prolactin-Releasing Hormone (PRH) stimulates the release of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and, to a lesser extent, prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland.
- Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) stimulates the release of Growth Hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
- Growth Hormone Releasing Inhibitory Hormone (GHRIH) or somatostatin inhibits the release of GH from the anterior pituitary gland.
Prolactin Regulation
- Prolactin Inhibitory Hormone (PRIH) inhibits the release of prolactin (PRL) from the anterior pituitary gland.
Hypothalamic Hormone Pathway
- Hypothalamic hormones reach the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland through the pituitary stalk.
