MSH: Peptide hormones produced by NEURONS of various regions in the HYPOTHALAMUS. They are released into the pituitary portal circulation to stimulate or inhibit PITUITARY GLAND functions. VASOPRESSIN and OXYTOCIN, though produced in the hypothalamus, are not included here for they are transported down the AXONS to the POSTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY before being released into the portal circulation.,CSP: hormones isolated from the hypothalamus which exercise control over other organs, primarily the pituitary gland; members include certain pituitary hormone-releasing hormones and pituitary hormone release inhibiting hormones.,NCI: Releasing and inhibiting hormones secreted by the neurosecretory neurons of the hypothalamus binding to the receptors of the anterior pituitary cells and modulating the release of hormones the pituitary secretes.
