title: The influence of hGRF, CRF, TRH and LHRH on SRIF release from median eminence fragments.
abstract: The influence of 4 releasing factors on the release of somatostatin (SRIF) from the median eminence of the hypothalamus in rats was studied using an in vitro system. Synthetic growth hormone-releasing factor (hGRF-40) and corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) stimulated SRIF release, whereas thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) and luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) did not stimulate its release. CRF and GRF may be physiologically involved in the regulation of SRIF release.
