Preferred Label : pituitary hormone-releasing hormones;
MeSH definition : Peptides, natural or synthetic, that stimulate the release of PITUITARY HORMONES.
They were first isolated from the extracts of the HYPOTHALAMUS; MEDIAN EMINENCE; PITUITARY
STALK; and NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. In addition, some hypophysiotropic hormones control pituitary
cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and hormone synthesis. Some can act on more
than one pituitary hormone.;
