Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 91; was PITUITARY HORMONE RELEASING HORMONES 1974-90; was PITUITARY HORMONE RELEASING FACTORS 1968-73
