MeSH Heading: Hypothalamic Hormones
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.327; D12.644.400.400; D12.644.548.365; D12.776.631.650.405
Unique ID: D007028
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007028
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specifics
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): Hypothalamic Pituitary-Regulating Hormones; Hypothalamic Pituitary-Regulating Peptides
NLM Classification #: WL 312
Previous Indexing: Hormones (1966-1978); Hypothalamus (1966-1978); Pituitary Hormones (1972-1978); specific hormone (1966-1978)
