|---|---|
 Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) "Hypothalamus" | Stimulates release of FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) and LEUTINIZING HORMONE (LH) |
| Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) "Anterior Pituitary" | Regulates develeopment, growth, onset of puberty & reproductve process of the human body |
| Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH) "Hypothalamus" | Stimulates release of THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) and PROLACTIN. |
| Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) "Anterior Pituitary" | Regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland |
| Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) "Hypothalamus" | HORMONE and NEUROTRANSMITTER involved in the stress response, stimulates the Pituitary Gland to secrete Adrenocortropin (ATCH) |
| Prolactin Inhibiting Hormone (PIH) "Hypothalamus" | Inhibits milk production at the mammary gland (Prolactin/ PRL) |
| Prolactin Releasing Hormone (PRH) "Hypothalamus" | Stimulates PROLACTIN production |
| Prolactin (PRL) "Anterior Pituitary" | Hormone that is primarily associated w/ LACTATION |
| Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone Releasing Factor (MRF) "Hypothalamus" | Influences Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) production. Melanin formation and deposition in the body and causing color changes in the skin |
| Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) "Anterior Pituitary" | Stimulates production and release of MELANIN in skin and hair, released into the brain; effect on appetite and sexual arousal. |
| Growth Hormone Inhibiting Hormone (GHIH) "Hypothalamus" | Inhibits HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE (hGH) from SOMATOTROPS CELLS. *Also called SOMATOSTATIN |
| Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) "Hypothalamus" | Stimulates hGH secretion. *Also called SOMATOCRININ |
| Human Growth Hormone (hGH) "Anterior Pituitary" | Stimulates growth and CELL REPRODUCTION in Humans. |
| Leutinizing Hormone (LH) "Anterior Pituitary" | Essential for REPRODUCTION |
| Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) "Anterior Pituitary" | Stimulates cortex of the ADRENAL Gland and boosts synthesis of CORTICOSTERIODS and sSex Steriods. *Also related to the circadian rhythm in many organs. |
| Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone Inhibiting Factor (MIF) "Hypothalamus" | Inhibits MELANOCYTES STIMULATING HORMONE (MSH) production. |
| Hypothalamic Hormone Function | To stimulate the Anterior Pituitary to SYNTHESIZE and release hormones. |
