hypothalamus hormones (6)
growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)
growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH)
thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH)
corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)
gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
prolactin inhibiting hormone (PIH)
all hormones secreted from the hypothalamus are
tropic hormones
the target tissue for hypothalamus hormones is the
anterior pituitary
all hypothalamic hormones are protein hormones except
prolactin inhibiting hormone (aka dopamine)
which is amino acid
what is the function of the GHRH
control growth hormone
what is the function of the GHIH
controls growth hormone (GH)
what is the function of TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone)
controls thyroid stimulating hormone
what is the function of CRH (corticotropin releasing hormone)
controls adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
what is the function of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone)
controls follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
and luteinizing hormone (LH)
what is the function of PIH (prolactin inhibiting hormone)
