TRH is a byproduct of the hypothalamus, which stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release TSH (thyroid- stimulating hormone). TRH production in the hypothalamus is stimulated when blood levels of the thyroid hormone thyroxine are low.A hormonelike substance from the hypothalamus (in the brain) that acts on the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone. TRH is given by intravenous injection to test thyroid gland function and to estimate reserves of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the pituitary.A hormone secreted by the hypothalamus that stimulates the anterior pituitary to release thyrotropin.\u00a0"}
