Parent topics
- Hypothalamus [r]: A part of the mammalian brain located below the thalamus, forming the major portion of the ventral region of the diencephalon. [e]
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: The study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. [e]
Subtopics
- Growth hormone [r]: A peptide hormone that is made in and secreted from the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and which is essential for regulating post-natal growth in all mammals. [e]
- Prolactin [r]: Hormone secreted from lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland with an essential role in lactation. [e]
- Median eminence [r]: Specialised region at the base of the brain containing the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal vessels and neuroendocrine nerve endings that release their products into them. [e]
- Somatostatin [r]: Neuropeptide whose best known function is as a hypothalamic factor that inhibits the secretion of growth hormone. [e]
- Neuropeptide Y [r]: A 36-amino acid peptide neurotransmitter found in the CNS and autonomic nervous system. [e]
- Hunger [r]: Localized subjective sensation, caused by emptiness and a resulting hypermotility of the stomach. [e]
- Obesity [r]: Excessive stores of body fat. [e]
- Leptin [r]: Hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates appetite. [e]
- Ghrelin [r]: A hormone produced by P/D1 cells lining the fundus of the human stomach that stimulate appetite. [e]
- Luteinising hormone [r]: Pituitary hormone with an essential role in reproduction in both males and females. [e]
- Nucleus tractus solitarii [r]: A nucleus of neurons in the caudal brainstem; it transmits information from stretch- and chemoreceptors of the cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, and from taste buds on the tongue [e]
- Peptide hormone [r]: A class of chemical messengers, secreted into the blood from endocrine cells, that bind to specific receptors expressed on the plasma membrane of target cells. [e]
