Mention the hormone that is produced by hypothalamus and it's function

1 answer

The hormone produced by the hypothalamus is called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Its main function is to stimulate the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland, which then stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Cortisol helps regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress levels in the body.
