Somatostatin is also known as growth hormone- inhibiting hormone; it inhibits the release of growth hormone. Adrenocorticotropic hormone controls the development and function of the adrenal cortex. Oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions and the release of milk from milk ducts during lactation. Prolactin stimulates the maturation of the mammary glands during pregnancy. Corticotropin-releasing hormone appears to provide a protective action by minimizing a maternal immunological rejection that could cause miscarriage. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone regulates thyroid hormones. Growth hormone is responsible for developing muscle mass and protein synthesis, among other things.
