Nina is researching hormones that can stimulate and inhibit the release of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary. Predict the type of stimulation that regulates the secretion of growth hormone
What will be an ideal response?
Since growth hormone is controlled by hormones that stimulate and inhibits its release, growth hormone operates under hormonal stimulation. The endocrine cells of the anterior pituitary increase or decrease their secretion of growth hormone in response to the binding of these releasing or inhibiting hormones, produced by the hypothalamus, to receptors.
