The hypothalamus produces and releases various hormones, including:

1. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) - Stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland, which are important for regulating reproductive function.

2. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) - Stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland, which in turn stimulates the production of cortisol from the adrenal glands in response to stress.

3. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) - Stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, which plays a key role in growth, metabolism, and other bodily functions.

4. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) - Stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland, which regulates the production of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland.

5. Prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH) - Inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland, regulating milk production and reproductive function.
