Study Notes
- TRH is a tripeptide hormone that contains the modified amino acid pyro-Glu.
- It can be found in various tissues, but the hypothalamus is the main source that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of TSH.
- TRH is transported to the anterior pituitary by the portal-hypophyseal system.
- Lesions that interrupt TRH release or distribution cause a decrease in basal TSH levels.
- TRH binds to the TRH receptor on thyrotrophs in the anterior pituitary.
- Binding of TRH activates the phospholipase C pathway, leading to the synthesis and release of TSH.
- TRH also activates the phospholipase A2 pathway, leading to the formation of biologically active eicosanoids.
- TRH can increase plasma prolactin concentration by stimulating lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary.
- There is no evidence indicating a regulatory role for TRH in prolactin secretion or action.
- It is unclear if physiological surges of TRH release and TSH secretion occur.
