Feedback:
Releasing hormones or factors are chemicals released by the hypothalamus into the anterior pituitary to stimulate the release of anterior pituitary hormones. The releasing hormone does not activate a hormone but stimulates its production. It does not stimulate the glands (hypothalamus or pituitary) but rather stimulates release of an anterior pituitary hormone.
