  2. Releasing and inhibiting hormones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Releasing_and_inhibiting...

    Releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones are hormones whose main purpose is to control the release of other hormones, either by stimulating or inhibiting their release. They are also called liberins ( / ˈ l ɪ b ə r ɪ n z / ) and statins ( / ˈ s t æ t ɪ n z / ) (respectively), or releasing factors and inhibiting factors .

  3. Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    Thyroid hormone exerts negative feedback control over the hypothalamus as well as anterior pituitary, thus controlling the release of both TRH from hypothalamus and TSH from anterior pituitary gland. [2] The HPA, HPG, and HPT axes are three pathways in which the hypothalamus and pituitary direct neuroendocrine function.

  4. Hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    Estrogen forms a negative feedback loop by inhibiting the production of GnRH in the hypothalamus. Inhibin acts to inhibit activin, which is a peripherally produced hormone that positively stimulates GnRH-producing cells. Follistatin, which is also produced in all body tissue, inhibits activin and gives the rest of the body more control over the ...

  5. Neuroendocrinology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroendocrinology

    The hypothalamus produces the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin in its endocrine cells (left). These are released at nerve endings in the posterior pituitary gland and then secreted into the systemic circulation. The hypothalamus releases tropic hormones into the hypophyseal portal system to the anterior pituitary (right).

  6. Hypothalamic–pituitary hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    In posterior pituitary we have hormones that control absorption of water and oxytocin. Anterior hypophysis, neurosecretory cells which release hormones. There is a pituitary portal system, with which the hormones are transported. These hormones are prolactin, growth hormone, TSH, adrenocorticotropic hormone, FSH and LH.

  7. Parvocellular neurosecretory cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parvocellular_neuro...

    Parvocellular neurosecretory cells are small neurons that produce hypothalamic releasing and inhibiting hormones. The cell bodies of these neurons are located in various nuclei of the hypothalamus or in closely related areas of the basal brain, mainly in the medial zone of the hypothalamus.

  8. Gonadotropin release inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadotropin_release_inhibitor

    Since the isolation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a hypothalamic decapeptide, from mammalian brain in the early 1970s, several other GnRHs have been identified in the brains of other vertebrates. Based on extensive studies in vertebrates, it was generally believed that GnRH is the only hypothalamic regulator of the release of ...

  9. Tuberoinfundibular pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberoinfundibular_pathway

    Tuberoinfundibular pathway shown in opaque blue, connecting that hypothalamus with the pituitary gland. The tuberoinfundibular pathway refers to a population of dopamine neurons that project from the arcuate nucleus (a.k.a. the "infundibular nucleus") in the tuberal region of the hypothalamus to the median eminence.
