What is the anterior pituitary target cell of thyroptropin-releasing hormone (TRH)?
thyrotropes
What hypothalamic hormone stimulates TSH & prolactin?
thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
What is the anterior pituitary target cell of corticotropin-releasing hormone?
corticotropes
What hypothalamic hormone stimulates adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)?
corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
What is the anterior pituitary target cells of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)?
gonadotropes
What hypothalamic hormone stimulates luteinizing & follicle-stimulating hormone (LH, FSH)?
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
What hypothalamic hormones target somatotropes?
growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) & somatostatin
What hypothalamic hormone stimulates growth hormone (GH)?
growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
What hypothalamic hormone inhibits GH?
somatostatin
What hypothalamic hormone targets lactotropes?
dopamine
What is the hormone inhibited by dopamine?
prolactin
What is the role of TSH?
stimulates thyroid gland, synthesizes and releases thyroid hormone
What hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex & what is the result?
ACTH, releases cortico hormones
What is the role of FSH & LH?
regulates production in women & men
What hormone promotes growth & protein synthesis?
GH
What is the role of prolactin?
stimulates lactation/milk production
What is the typical state of prolactin?
mainly under inhibition via dopamine
