Abstract
The central control of growth hormone (GH) secretion from the pituitary gland is ultimately achieved by the interaction between two hypothalamic neurohormones, somatostatin which inhibits and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) which stimulates GH release. The regulation of the somatostatin and GHRH release from the hypothalamus is regulated by a range of other neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, neurohormones. In this mini review we attempt to provide a short summary covering the anatomy and chemical characteristics of the various cell populations regulating GH secretion as a tribute to Miklós Palkovits who pioneered the field of functional neuroanatomy of hypothalamic networks.Entities:
