<prompt> Anterior pituitary gland secretes all of the following EXCEPTGHTSHFSHGnRH  <response>: D GnRH Gonadotropin-releasing hormone GnRH, also known as Follicle-Stimulating Hormone-Releasing Hormone FSH-RH, Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone LHRH, gonadoliberin, by various other names in its endogenous form and as gonadoralin INN in its pharmaceutical form, is a releasing hormone responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone FSH and luteinizing hormone LH from the anterior pituitary. GnRH is a tropic peptide hormone synthesized and released from GnRH neurons within the hypothalamus. The peptide belongs to gonadotropin-releasing hormone family. It constitutes the initial step in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The anterior pituitary secretes seven hormones: adrenocorticotropic hormone corticotropin, ACTH, thyroid-stimulating hormone thyrotropin, TSH, growth hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone FSH, luteinizing hormone LH, Melanocyte stimulating hormoneMSH and prolactin PRL. An additional polypeptide, b-lipotropin b-LPH, is secreted with ACTH, but its physiologic role is unknown. The actions of the anterior pituitary hormones are summarized in. The hormones are discussed in detail in the chapters on the endocrine system. The hypothalamus plays an important stimulatory role in regulating the secretion of ACTH, b-LPH, TSH, growth hormone, FSH, and LH. It also regulates prolactin secretion, but its effect is predominantly inhibitory rather than stimulatory.
