Hormoner från hypotalamus som styr andra organ, främst hypofysen. Till de mest välkända hör hypofyshormonfrisättande hormoner och hypofyshämmande hormoner. Vasopressin och oxytocin, vilka produceras i den bakre hypofysen kan även utsöndras av hypotalamus, men tas här inte med i gruppen hypotalamushormoner.
Peptide hormones produced by NEURONS of various regions in the HYPOTHALAMUS. They are released into the pituitary portal circulation to stimulate or inhibit PITUITARY GLAND functions. VASOPRESSIN and OXYTOCIN, though produced in the hypothalamus, are not included here for they are transported down the AXONS to the POSTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY before being released into the portal circulation.
