Types
The parvocellular neurosecretory cells include those that make:
- Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which acts as the primary regulator of TSH release
- Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which acts as the primary regulator of ACTH
- Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which acts as the primary regulator of growth hormone release
- Somatostatin, which acts as a regulator of growth hormone release
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which acts as the primary regulator of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release
- Dopamine, which acts as the primary regulator of prolactin release
