|---|---|
| corticotropin-releasing factor | <endocrinology, physiology> A neuropeptide released by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of corticotropin by the anterior pituitary gland. Chemical name: Corticotropin-releasing factor Synonym: corticoliberin, corticotropin releasing factor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corticotropin-releasing hormone | <endocrinology, physiology> A neuropeptide released by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of corticotropin by the anterior pituitary gland. Chemical name: Corticotropin-releasing factor Synonym: corticoliberin, corticotropin releasing factor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prolactin-releasing factor | A substance of hypothalamic origin that stimulates the release of prolactin. Synonym: prolactin-releasing factor, prolactin-releasing hormone. Origin: prolactin + L. Libero, to free, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| prolactin-releasing hormone | A polypeptide hormone that originates in the hypothalamus and stimulates the secretion of prolactin in the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| somatotropin-releasing factor | A decapeptide released by the hypothalamus, which induces the release of human growth hormone (somatotropin). Synonym: growth hormone-releasing factor, growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatotropin-releasing factor, somatotropin-releasing hormone. Origin: somatotropin + L. Libero, to free, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatotropin-releasing hormone | <chemical> Hypothalamic peptide that regulates the synthesis and secretion of somatotropin in the anterior pituitary gland. Chemical name: Somatoliberin (12 Dec 1998) |
| thyroid releasing hormone | <endocrinology> Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) is a byproduct of the hypothalamus and serves to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TRH is produced by the hypothalamus when thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) blood levels are low. (27 Sep 1997) |
| thyroid-stimulating hormone-releasing factor | <protein> See thyrotrophic releasing hormone. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thyrotrophic releasing hormone | <endocrinology> Tripeptide (pyroGlu His Pro NH2) that releases thyrotrophin from the anterior pituitary by stimulating adenyl cyclase. May also have neurotransmitter and paracrine functions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thyrotropin-releasing factor | Former name for thyrotropin-releasing hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotropin-releasing hormone | <protein> See thyrotrophic releasing hormone. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test | TRH stimulation test, a test of pituitary response to injection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone, which normally stimulates pituitary secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, thyrotropin), used primarily to distinguish pituitary from hypothalamic causes of thyroid disorders; TSH does not rise in cases of pituitary dysfunction, but does rise in cases of hypothalamic disorders. (05 Mar 2000) |
| TSH releasing factor | <endocrinology> A tripeptide produced by the hypothalamus that stimulates the anterior pituitary to release TSH. (18 Nov 1997) |
| follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing factor | A decapeptide of hypothalamic origin capable of accelerating pituitary secretion of follitropin. Synonym: follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing factor, follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing hormone. Origin: follicle-stimulating hormone + L. Libero, to free, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
