Toward Multifactorial Hypothalamic Regulation of Anterior Pituitary Hormone Secretion.
نویسنده
چکیده
The hypothalamus regulates the secretion of anterior pituitary hormones via release of releasing hormones into the hypophysial portal vasculature. Additional neuromessengers act at the pituitary to modulate responses to the hypothalamic hormones. For example, neuropeptide Y enhances the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and the response to the prolactin-inhibiting hormone dopamine.

Current concepts on ultradian rhythms of luteinizing hormone secretion in the human.
A cardinal physiological feature of anterior pituitary hormone secretion is its pulsatile mode of signalling to remote target tissues. The pulsatile release of anterior pituitary hormones is orchestrated by episodic neuronal activation of hypothalamic control centres, which release relevant effector molecules intermittently. The anterior pituitary gland in turn secretes hormones in ultradian bu...
متن کاملPhysiology of Growth Hormone Secretion
Growth hormone (GH) is secreted in a pulsatile fashion from the anterior pituitary gland. The synthesis and the secretion of GH are regulated mainly by two hypothalamic neuropeptides, the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin. A wide variety of physiologic and hormonal factors exert an effect on GH secretion. This paper will review physiology of GH secretion and the factors t...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropins are indispensable hormones for maintaining female reproductive functions. In a similar manner to other endocrine hormones, GnRH and gonadotropins are controlled by their principle regulators. Although it has been previously established that GnRH regulates the synthesis and secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating horm...

OBJECTIVES: • Identify appropriate hypothalamic factors that control the secretion of each of the anterior pituitary hormones, and describe their route of transport from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. • Contrast the anterior and posterior pituitary lobes with respect to cell types, vascular supply, development, and innervation (hypothalamic). • Diagram the short-loop and long-loop ...
متن کاملRole of central epinephrine in regulation of anterior pituitary hormone secretion.
Hypothalamic regulation of anterior pituitary hormones is thought to be mediated by the release of stimulatory and/or inhibitory peptides that are, in turn, regulated by catecholaminergic neurons. The recent development of selective epinephrine (EPI) synthesis inhibitors has made it possible to disrupt central EPI neurotransmission without affecting norepinephrine or dopamine. These compounds w...
