The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. TRH can be seen in green. TRH is synthesized within parvocellular neurons of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. [2] It is translated as a 242-amino acid precursor polypeptide that contains 6 copies of the sequence -Gln-His-Pro-Gly-, with both ends of the sequence flanked by Lys-Arg or Arg-Arg sequences.
The head-twitch response (HTR), also sometimes known as wet dog shakes (WDS) in rats, is a rapid side-to-side head movement that occurs in mice and rats when the serotonin 5-HT 2A receptor is activated. [1] [2] Serotonergic psychedelics like lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin consistently induce the HTR in rodents.

The TRHR ...
CRH and TRH are secreted into the hypophyseal portal system, and target different neurons in the anterior pituitary. Dysfunctions of the PVN can cause hypersomnia in mice. [ 2 ] In humans, the dysfunction of the PVN and the other nuclei around it can lead to drowsiness for up to 20 hours per day. [ 3 ]
The TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The TSH, in turn, stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone until levels in the blood return to normal. Thyroid hormone exerts negative feedback control over the hypothalamus as well as anterior pituitary, thus controlling the release of both TRH ...
TRH-stimulation testing however continues to be useful for the differential diagnosis of secondary (pituitary disorder) and tertiary (hypothalamic disorder) hypothyroidism. Patients with these conditions appear to have physiologically inactive TSH in their circulation that is recognized by TSH assays to a degree such that they may yield ...
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lowered a raw Thanksgiving turkey into a bubbling pot of cooking fat in a video posted to social media last November. "This is how we cook the MAHA way," said Kennedy, who ...
TRH stimulates the thyrotropic cells through the use of a phospholipase C second messenger system. [1] TRH binds to a class A G protein-coupled receptor on the surface of a thyrotropic cell, which is known as the thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor (TRHR). Strong hydrogen bonding interactions stabilize the binding of TRH to TRHR.
