Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- We considered that secretion of the hypothalamic hormone is jointly controlled by testosterone and pituitary concentration.
- One such hypothalamic hormone is called GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone).
- TRH, in experimental conditions, is a potent stimulator of PRL release, but it is not clear that this hypothalamic hormone is the natural releasing factor for PRL.
- C More than one hypothalamic hormone is involved in the process of milk production.
- The effect of growth hormone secretagogues and neuropeptide Y on hypothalamic hormone release from acute rat hypothalamic explants.
- Effect of thymosin alpha 1 on hypothalamic hormone release.
- Additional neuromessengers act at the pituitary to modulate responses to the hypothalamic hormones.
- Previous studies suggest that NPY has negative feedback effect of GH release and stimulatory action in the regulation of appetite having reciprocal relation with hypothalamic hormone such as GHRH, SS, GHS and leptin.
- The release of FSH is controlled by the hypothalamic hormone Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone and Inhibin.
