Each releasing factor stimulates the pituitary to secrete a specific hormone (e.g., growth-hormone-releasing factor stimulates the release of growth hormone).Any of a group of substances secreted by the hypothalamus that control or inhibit the release of various hormones. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone, gonadotropin releasing hormone, dopamine, growth hormone-releasing hormone, corticotropin-releasing hormone, and somatostatin are included in this group. Dopamine and somatostatin act to inhibit release of the hormones they act upon."}
