What hormones are secreted by the hypothalamus?

Answer 1

There are 7 different hormones released from the hypothalamus. They all are regulatory hormones that act on the anterior pituitary with the exception of prolactin inhibitory hormone. Most of them have a positive influence on the anterior pituitary, but there is also a negative influence on the growth hormone release.

The 7 different hormones released are:

• GHRH (Growth hormone releasing hormone) - counteracted by another hormone released from the hypothalamus called Somatostatin, which blocks hormone release. (+)
• Growth hormone release inhibitory hormone - Somatostatin (-)
• CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) - acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate corticoid metabolism (+)
• TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) - act on target cells within the pituitary gland (+)
• Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - acts on target cells within the anterior pituitary to stimulate thyroid hormone production. (+)
• Prolactin inhibitory hormone - Dopamine(-)
• PRH (Prolactin releasing hormone) (+)

Answer 2

the hypothalamus secretes hormones which stimulate the master gland, that is pituitary gland. on getting stimulated, the pituitary gland secretes hormones which further stimulate the respective endocrine glands to produce and secrete hormones. this is why hypothalamus is known as master of master gland. eg. of hormone secreted by hypothalamus is Thyroxine Secreting Hormone Releasing Hormone...this hormone stimulates pituitary to produce Thyroxine Secreting Hormone which stimulates thyroid gland to secrete thyroxine hormone.

Answer 3

Nerve messages controlling sleep, hunger, and other basic body processes come from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus also produces hormones that control other glands and organs. The hypothalamus plays a major role in maintaining homeostasis because of the impulse and hormone it produces.

Answer 4

The hypothalamus controls the autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It helps maintain homeostatic functions.It contains several types of neurons responsible for secreting different hormones.
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
Somatostatin
Dopamine
All of these are released into the blood in the capillaries and travel immediately, in portal veins, to a second capillary bed in the anterior lobe of the pituitary, where they exert their effects.
All of them are released in periodic spurts. In fact, replacement hormone therapy with these hormones does not work unless the replacements are also given in spurts.
Two other hypothalamic hormones are vasopressin and oxytocin and they travel in the neurons themselves to the posterior lobe of the pituitary where they are released into the circulation.

there are quite a few to list and spell.

Answer 7

the hypothalamus is responsible for secreting testosterone and seminal fluids into the blood stream. Recently studies have show it is also responsible for secreting urine.

Answer 8

they dont produce it, but they help with some.

they also regulate the pituitary gland.

neurohormones
