Notes:
The hypothalamus secretes hormones which in turn affect the release of hormones from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Evidence has so far been adduced for the existence of seven hypothalamic releasing hormones and three inhibiting hormones. These neurohormones are all oligopeptides and occur in only nanogram amounts in the hypothalamus. The study of synthetic analogs has provided valuable information regarding their mechanism of action.
